Finn family

Hello all. I have been a long time lurker on this sight, and thought I would step up and say hey. Here is a pic of my meagre Finn collection.

Here are some more shots of the unmarked M91. It is probably my most interesting Mosin. Some of you may have seen it, as I have posted it around before. I have gotten little info. There is a pic of a similar one on the 7.62 info site, but there is almost no info about it, other than it is Finnish and uncommon. As always, I am open to new thoughts.

The unmarked M91 appears to be a P series.

There is a survey on these at Gunbards. Finnish P-Series Rifles

It's too bad it's not P-x marked...It would be one of the earliest known with that serial number.

True. I think I am glad it isn't marked. As rare as they are, I have seen other P-series rifles. I have only seen 1 pic of a rifle similar to this one.

BTW, thanks for the link, but I put it on there some time ago.
