New gun owner Wilson county

[Red-Rocket]

Hello TGO I just purchased my first rifle, a Finn matched 91/30 Mosin Nagant
Tikkakoski 1944.

I also have a thing for cars.
Pictures to come when I get home.

Although I don't own a Mosin, I'll welcome you in anyway.

Sounds like a Finn captured Tikka rework! Very cool! The Finns are the best. Welcome to TGO.

That's exactly what it is, I bought it from a guy who owned it for 12 years, he either never knew it was Finn matched or didn't tell me, I paid $175 for it, which is a little high but, the bore was perfect and the entire rifle was pretty well taken care of, so I bought it, then a firing pin tool, and spam can, and hope to take it up to Stones River on Saturday.

I'd say you actually did well. They are hard to find under $200 around here. Let us know how it shoots and show us some pics!

I bought that at the same time as the firing pin tool XD

Went to Stones River with my room mate put about 100-200 rounds down range and had a good time.
Neither of us had solid groupings haha, but a good time was had.

Very nice pre war stock! Have you inspected the tang to see by who and when the receiver was made?

One thing about guns, you never just have a only one gun!  You will buy another!  Welcome.

According to 7.62x54r.net the receiver was originally made by Tula, but no date stamp.
And two other strange markings as well.

I recently got a m39 with a recycled 1897 Tula receiver.

Yeah, you got a steal on that rifle, I think I've seen em at shops around here in the $350ish ballpark. Welcome to the forum cousin.
