Finn capture M-91

[MD]

I've got a spare MN, a Finn capture hex reciever M-91 rebarreled by Tikka in 1941 if I remember right, force matched bolt with the old arshin graduated sight numbers struck off and renumbered in metres.

Has the wire hanger-type sling swivels.

One of the barrel band screws is stripped and though the bore looks strong, I've never been able to get it to shoot well, even trying expensive imported Norma hunting ammo.

Is it acceptable to ask here what would be a fair price to ask for this rifle?

Pics would help but they have a hard time selling for $150 in the ee forum unless its in exceptional condition.

If the bore is good I would say $125 maybe a little more to the right person.Sort of depends on how long you want to wait to sell it, list it at $100 & it would sell in minutes, $175 might take weeks. Clear, detail pictures go a long way.

I would concur with those prices. I bought my Finn Mosin M1891 for $150.

Ya never know when a certain stamp or combination of markings can drastically increase collector value though...

Apparently, stuff like this is pretty groovy...

Thats why you need the clear pics.

Yes they are. How did you get such a close shot without flash washout?I have to take pics like that in daylight.
