7.62X53R shooters?
I found some neat Christmas gifts for $79 with bayonets and all the gear. Ammo pouch, sling and cleaning kit. Ishvesk and a Tula in laminated stocks.
 ...Cheers... ......  ......

R guns?
Just curious who the distributor was. Those look nicer than my M44 from R-Guns, though I'm very pleased with the M44 and the 7.62x54R cartridge (or 7.62x53R if your Finnish).

Nice pictures.
I had the chance to see a nice colletion of M27, M28, Finn 91/30's and M39's last week. The quality was fantastic in both the wood and action, 99%+ stuff. Made my Finn's look like crapo.

The M39's?
I think it was SOG in the mid 90's for $69. I think I bought six around the holiday's to swap out the triggers and gifted or sold them later.
..............  I received this in 1989 or 1990. Still one of my favorite rifles. Cheers |

Never let it be said that you can't find any good deals at Cabela's on milsurps. Especially if they mis-identify their own merchandise.
On a recent trip through Nevada, stopped at the Reno's Cabela's and found this Finnish Model 27. It bore a tag that identified it as a Mosin Nagant 1891 and a price of 159.99. Tikka, dated 1934

Possibly a dumb question.
Can you fire 7.62x54R in these -53R rifles?

Almost the same ound. The Finn round uses a better bullet
and the powder is higher quality with less smoke.
