    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.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    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 Finnishicon 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.
