Good source for mossin negants

Frontier23, I just hope you want to start a Mosin collection, not a hacking/sporterizing business (some do!) :eek: .
First: Mosins are not easy to sporterize to modern hunter status (scoping) cheaply.
Second: JP's Mosins have a definite collectible status, especially some older Finn M-91s he has in store. I think he even has a stepped-barrel Tikka 1926 M-91 (3000 made).
PP.:)

got lucky when I found this one on the rack :) Shop didn't know what they had and sold it at the same price as the other Finn M91 nagants

WC: That's also a "Christmas tree" marked Nagant, indicating a shortened and rechambered bbl to clean up the throat IIRC...

Thats exactly what I've been able to find out about the christmass tree mark. The barrel does not appear to be any shorter, but then again I've never really seriously measured it. Perhaps I should could prove to be interesting.

Nope. This one is a SIG barreled with a step. The one I'm talking is a 1927 Tikka step-barreled M-91 like this one:

BTW, that M-24 is another gem! if you can lay your hands on a SIG straight-barreled M-24, it is a lot more rare. I have the Böhler Stahl barreled version, which is just a bit more "common".

hey PP nice, those were for the army with the tikka heavy barrels IIRC, sort of the same ideal as the civilguard rifles, not a lot made either. I have a regular barrel tikka M91 in my collection, common as dirt.

I would like to have one of everything, but like my endfield collection, finding one of everything is one hell of a task, then there is being able to afford to buy that many rifles and have a place to store them.

Even a "common as dirt" M-91 is something to check on when Finn-marked :)
I have a 1944 Tikka barrelled M-91 that is a real tack-driver and the receiver is one of the late 1895 Chatellerault! It was my first Finn but it is by no means my last!
Lately, one of Gunnutz members sold me a very nice P-27; I never thought I could find one in good shape and this one is great. Barrel is mirror-shine now.
One I'd love to find is a Puolustuslaitos in good shape; some months ago, one of you bandits taunted me with nice pics of one of those really rare birds!:p
I'm trying to limit my collection to Finn-issued ones. This is well enough for my already taxed bank account.
Of course, a very nice unmolested early Sestrorestk or Tula would force me break my oath...;)
PP.
