Finnish M28

This is my Finnish M28 Civil Guard Mosin Nagant rifle. Most if not all M28 stocks were made from extra 1891/M/91 Mosin Nagant stocks. The SYT stamp on the right side of the rifle in the wood at the finger grove is the Finnish Civil Guard approval stamp, that says the cut down stock met standards. This rifle was made at the Tikka Factory. Best $40 bucks I ever spent.

[WVliberty]

[Sniper1968]

@WVliberty Back in the eighties.

[homeruu1lol]

my dad made stocks for the m28

[Sniper1968]

@homeruu1lol I'll bet he has some stories of his own to tell about those days.

Who is the owner of that rifle...? (carved name) 40bucks for a finnish war rifle... Makes me Sad... (as a Finnish guy)

@brunoferrarri

they are interchangeable, russian made bolts are smaller in size - in the "Talvisota"-movie finnish soldier shouts "take the bolt from dead russians rifles, the sand does not bother you so much!"

Sand was all around from artillery bombardment.

[tunkki321]

Just FYI, not a single receiver was ever made in Finland, every rifle is from Tzar's Tula plants :)

Finns made hi-quality barrels for these (otherwise) exellent Mosin-Nagant rifles.

@Sniper1968 That's like the deal of the century for a fully working M/28 SAKO. The going price for one of these in Finland is 4000 eur minimum. if not 10k for an example like this.

[metonAlternate]

40USD for a genuine M/28 with a Civil Guard Gun and Machineworks barrel that was an actual working rifle used in the Winter and Continuation wars!? that thing is 100 more valuable if not 1000.

[TheDzhoel]

Well obviously that gun has a quite good FINNISH to the stock! (jesus christ, i inherited my dads bad jokes.... :o)

[gongels94]

Damn sexy stock

[kylpyankka2]

auomwlla oli kovat pyssyt

[piraan2]

40 bucks. You have made a best deal ever.

@tunkki321 Actually they were manufactured by Tula, Ishevsk, Sestroryetsk (seen 2 M39s and a 27), New England Westinghouse (seen 2 M39s), Remington (one M28-30), and Chatellerault (a few 28s and a 39). If it was made before 1917, there's a good chance a Finn Mosin got built out of it.

Barrels were also produced by SiG (my M28 has one of those), Gebruder Bohler (one of my M24s, though I'd really love to know which German firm actually made it), and SAKO (Both of my 28-30s)

@juhagard They cost about the same nowadays in the US. I picked one up in a minty M28-30 stock for $300, and my friend got stupidly lucky and found one with all matching numbers and 28-30 sights mismarked as an M39 for $250.
