I own two Finnish WWII mosin-nagants. One is a M28-30 (1939)same model used by Simo Häyhä. Other is a Tikka M39(1944). Finnish rifles especially Tikkas are highly sought after here. You Finns are great craftsman. We admire your history also.
Interesting guns, but why with original russian stock? I was under impression that SA marked rifles were fitted with a slightly different stock during 40’s, one with a grip. Those russian stocks were in use in the civil war 1917-1918 and not often seen today with army stamps. Even the civil war museum in Tampere, Finland had mostly anachronic “modernised” stock versions on display.
Do you need a license to own that or is it unusable? I’d love to get a license to own a rifle in Finland. Use to go shooting all the time with my great grandpa’s 1941 .303 Lee Enfield. Would be awesome to do the same here if possible.

I actually just went out and shot my ’41 VKT M39 today. They are fantastic rifles. I would love to get my hands on an M28/30
My old moose hunting rifle on the 4th pic… Accurate thing.
