Finnish 91/30 trade value

[sdh1911]

I have duplicate Finnish 91/30's in real good condition, one dated 1938 and the other 1941, bores on both are mint, stocks are great and both have fat finger splices and swivel hangers. Pretty much even grade guns. I'd like to use one as a barter item at an up-coming gunshow. Does any body have any idea what kind of value these guns might be worth to a collector? I didn't pay a whole lot for either one but by human nature I'd like to trade up on another milsurp, i could use another M96 Swedish rifle would this be a stretch? SDH

In the US, I'd say they are probably $175-225 rifles to the right buyer. Perhaps even a little less. Problem is the glut of Russian refurbs in the $100 range limits your audience to Mosin collectors only. It can be a small audience at any given show.

I believe your quite right. The average collector can't see the difference. I picked the gun up at Sarcos in the Russian rack. With all those guys down there I was most surprised to find one there, but, I really don't mind having a second, the date is different anyhow. BR-SDH
