Thanks for the reminder Tom. The ''Finn capture'' term is so often used when talking about SA marked Mosin's that I tend to forget all about the ones that were purchased from other nations.

Well, I just bought it, $140 is a great price in my opinion for that much history and a good rifle. The bore is great, shiny with strong rifling. At least the rear sight is Westinghouse also, I don't know about the rest. Thanks for all of the input.

I hope you bought it. That's probably a $300 rifle with tons of great history. Finn rifles are mix masters, so I wouldn't change a thing. Trying to get all Westinghouse parts would not help the value, and may actually hurt it. An all original matching NEW can bring $1200. Typical Finns are $250-350. Yours looks above average.

Well done. Another Finn is now in safe hands.
