Thread: Finnish Mosin-Nagant Model 39

1942 Sako M39



You ain't shot a Mosin-Nagant till you've shot a Finnish Mosin-Nagant!:D

I hear the Finnish are the most accurate of them all. I have a few, but there not Finnish

The Finns tended to be built and handled with more care. The triggers are very nice. Plus the Finns floated the barrels in a way with brass shims and such. They are very nice to shoot and with junky surplus ammo, still capable of 1 MOA groupings.

My 1935 M28/30 SkY

The pride and joy of my small, but growing Finnish collection:

1934 Tikka M27

I hear those things will beat the snot out of you. Any truth to that?

BTW I really should get a C&R

The Russian carbines have a fair amount of recoil to them. The rifle length Russians are easy to shoot. Now the Finns, with their sturdiness and heavier stocks, are a breeze to shoot. It's nothing to sit down and shoot 50-150rds from one of them.

Has anyone here read "Frozen hell: The Russo-finnish war of 1938"? My library has it and it is a fantastic book with a lot of narrative of the rifles and their use in battle.

Great book! I caught a great deal on it on Evil-Bay and bought it for about $5. Fantastic narrative of the war. You really get a feel of the conditions, the horror of that short war.
