    Finnish capture Dragoon

    Here is the 1923 Ishevsk Finnishicon capture Dragoon I received 2 weeks ago. Is it odd that it is not in a Finnish stock? Counter bored about and inch and no import makings. Double 41 markings.

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Outstanding find! Not odd that it's not in a Finn stock. Most of my Finn 91/30s are in a Russianicon stock. I think the ones that got Finn made stocks are post war rebuilds, and the ones with spliced Russian stocks may be wartime rebuilds. My 1930 Izhevsk Dragoon has a Russian stock. I also have a 1923 Tula dragoon that may or may not be Finn used in a Russian stock. (This rifle has no Finn markings, but seems to have a tall Finn front sight blade.)

    The Finns used every part that was usable on their guns. A Russianicon stock is correct for your rifle. I have a couple MN rifles that I am sure are Finn but there is no SA stamp on the barrel. Finn MN rifles are pretty scarce around here and when you find one, are expensive. I am glad I got mine when they were cheap. I could not afford this hobby if I was buying today....chris3

    Outstanding! Nicer by far than mine, I love the double hits, I have a few Finns that way but can't figure them out-SDH
