according to 7.62by54 website...my rifle...being dated 1928 (barrel and receiver) was manufactured to be a Dragoon, since that arsenal stopped making M91's in 1924 or 26 and made Dragoons and Cossacks until 1930 when they started building 91/30's. Many Dragoons were remanufactured as 91/30's I'm probably reading it all wrong and some one of you experts are entirely welcome to jump down my throat about it. All I know is what I read online. it's the right date and it's the right length..the front sight is wrong for a dragoon and the handguard has blued steel endcaps...but they said they remanufactured the dragoons...so The Finn belongs to bucnball and is really one...and a real mess

nope..that didn't work

The obvious solution is head shots

the finns (my people) rebarreled the receiver and refurbished the stocks. (added wood and different sling attatchments) and recalibrated the sights. I'd love one...but only if I found it cheap.

a long time ago...most of my tales start out like that...I was mowing the yard and spooked a 2 or 3 foot blue racer...said snake being instantly picked up by my 5 year old son...they seemed to get along so I said, "go show that to your mother." When the poor kid calmed down he said, "she's standing on the chair,... she shreeked so loud I threw the snake and he landed in her lap. You better go find him." There's a lot more to this but this is a family type website.

mine looks like it's got Leprosy. I want to redo it but it's a 1928 Izhevsk hex with matching numbers. Maybe I can find another like the one I ALMOST bought at Shylocks. Aluminum front sight, cut barrel, no handguard, numbers like a bingo card, 65$ out the door.. but it was a hex and the bolt glided.

Oh lordy...I'm a Democrat and I have guns....Baja...you'ze a baaad boy

I need a range...probably Saturday at the Rifle Range Road one. I'm getting pretty old and sorta shakey. Some times my mouse clicker goes nuts. The old part is bad..the wife likes the stuttering mouse clicker. We worked on Bucnball's Finn. Last week he said it was clean... it is NOW. I'm afraid to take it apart it's not like any of the videos or Collecting and Shooting the MilSurp rifle pages. The handguard is split and there's screws and splices all over the place. Barrel is 1942...I wanna take it apart and see the date on the tang...heck. Well...that didn't work. The Finn has something very sturdy on the barrel band screws and they turn so far and quit. The front of the stock has the dovetail replacement but the gun is 51 inches long. so it's not the shorter Finn with the nice taper to the stock. I remain afraid to tske it apart!

if that scope is original...DING! We have a winner! Don't take it off before you get it checked. On the other hand...if it's an addon...

I'm from Wyoming, Montana neighborhood. We didn't have turkeys until some damnfool decided he'd raise some wild ones. "just for fun"...now the state of between Montana and Wyoming is lousy with them and the Game and Fish decided they're a game bird. They wear calendar rolexes...day before season they all move to Montana. Dumb birds...that's the Crow Reservation and they don't recodnize the words "hunting season"...it's all good, year round.

my cat brings them home...along with Robins, bunnies, snakes, voles, mice, hummingbirds, cardinals, finches, starlings and posion ivy (yours truly is highly allergic!)

nope..not a Finn. If I could afford to pay for premimum membership I'd post pics. Can I post links? If so I'll post some pics to facebook.

the stock is nearly stripped of finish..but it's how I got it. All the markings are very clear. A multitude of barrel and receiver stamps. All the major parts match and it's a hex with the metal and screwed sling slots. It's pretty cool...for commie junk. Hey Garufa...your PC line is exactly how I see history. One of my Anthro professors assigned the Study of NA wives married to Europeans as compared to NA wives married to NA husbands. "Prove the premise that NA wives were better treated by NA husbands." If you use the original documents from Hudsons Bay journals it's easy to see they weren't. I got a terrible grade because I didn't use his "suggested reading list" all of which were written by "revisionists." I did read them...no references before 1930 and not one single comment by NA wives married to white husbands. We have lost our history. We'll lose our past next.

I see sharp lands and deep grooves. Took a 20 guage brass brush to the chamber and then a 20 guage mop to follow. The bolt glides now. I had the bolt in my hand and "accidently" released the cock. Bizzaro...pieces ...and a shiny firingpin. Now that I can actually see the markings it's a 1928 Izhevsk Bow and Arrow (pre 1928)

shylocks pawn in Clinton had two 44's one was over 100 and pretty the other was 99 and the wrath of god

more cleaning...the patches stopped coming out black...now they're green

ammo nearly everywhere in knixvegas..little gun shop on Alcoa hwy by the food city and Pilot

People need to pay closer attention to the scriptures. It's like a road map...there's a place I want to go and the map says this is the way to get there. You don't get to choose alternate routes with scripture

I should do it more often...I'm actually not a bad shot...for a guy who learned how from a book. and this is not the first time I've watched an AR jam.

it's not the money that's the root of all evil...it's the LOVE of money. Money by itself is pretty harmless...kinda like a gun on the shelf. Pick the gun up and the holder becomes a danger unless you know he's not a nut. Money is no big deal, but the one who lusts after money...him I worry about.

I brew...I drink whatever is in the basement...some of it is 4 years old

Went to the range today with my good buddy Bucnball. Shot my Mossberg model 42M© with the original peep for the first time since I fixed it. 50 yards...all in the small rings but no cigar. This rifle has been an adventure from the getgo so I was pretty amazed it shot let alone actually hit what I was aiming at. (It's been so long since it was fired a tiny spider had a nest in the peep...I really hated to disturb him/her/whatever. but he was too hard to see through) I've been wanting an AK...now I don't...they don't shoot very straight and they're loud...my SKS is better and quieter. I don't like the AR 15 either after watching one jam...jam...jam. I think there were more ejected unfired rounds than holes in the target. That created quite the flinch. On the other side of the range boss booth was a Mosin Nagant that was quiet compared to the 44 mag and the 7mm mag on either side of him. And I shot my new old Mosin and I like it. When I was in the navy (lo these many years ago) I had to attempt to qualify with a Springfield O3A3...not my cuppa tea but I like the Mosin (commie piece a junk) I could shoot it. I never did hit the target with the 03A3...and they made me a Gunners Mate!! Go Figure!

Uhoh...my cat needs a permit !! Does that mean I'm in trouble?..or just the cat.

you might even open the door and tell them you're going to shop somewhere else. They'll at least know you read the sign.

It is one of the simplest firearms I have ever held. It feels like HISTORY though. Hey...one more thing. I noticed the rear sight wasn't exactly straight. So I becan to look. The rear of the rear sight is tight to the barrel while the front is raised just a tad. There's a folded up paper under the front of the front sight. I wonder what it says?
