The other 91 has a mismatched bolt, but it shoots good, no sign of any issues at all and bangs the gong using surplus and handloads at 100 yards and my poor vision. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (WVchuck) http://milsurpshooter.net/sreply/202536 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 12:12:25 PST http://milsurpshooter.net/reply/202531/t/Found-this-one-on-the-way-home-Thursday-.html#reply-202531
There is another one near me in a pawn shop tagged "British Mauser" for $180. It's bore is rusty, missing upper handguard, cleaning rod and the bolt didn't match otherwise I would've made them an offer. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (ParallaxBill) http://milsurpshooter.net/sreply/202531 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 11:06:22 PST http://milsurpshooter.net/reply/202526/t/Found-this-one-on-the-way-home-Thursday-.html#reply-202526 Both shops know I like the old military bolt rifles and won't budge on the prices too much.
Then again, they still have them priced lower than what the "online" marketplace has them priced at, so I'm still happy.
Now to run into an M-28 or 28/30 for the same price range as these 91's have been!! ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (WVchuck) http://milsurpshooter.net/sreply/202526 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 10:05:18 PST http://milsurpshooter.net/reply/202524/t/Found-this-one-on-the-way-home-Thursday-.html#reply-202524
"C" for example.

This is a buyers market now - Folks needing gas money or just $$ for whatever have put up for sale on auctions or shops some MN's not often seen. I have added to my collection some pretty cool pieces for not too much $$.

That silver paint really helped with that.....
Seriously, it turned out a lot nicer than I thought it was going to and it isn't counterbored.
This is the second Finn'ed 91 I've ran across locally in the past three months. Makes me wonder what's going on.
Both were pawn shop (different shops) rifles that someone had let the pawn run out and got the rifles put out for sale.
This puts me up to three Finn 91's and two Balkans now.
Three years ago, I didn't have one. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (WVchuck) http://milsurpshooter.net/sreply/202513 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 07:13:59 PST http://milsurpshooter.net/reply/202506/t/Found-this-one-on-the-way-home-Thursday-.html#reply-202506 ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (mh47) http://milsurpshooter.net/sreply/202506 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 03:04:48 PST http://milsurpshooter.net/reply/202487/t/Found-this-one-on-the-way-home-Thursday-.html#reply-202487

Not many around here. If you want an overpriced used shotgun or deer rifle we have plenty.

It started raining again as soon as I stepped outside with the camera.
I tried to keep things close as far as size and perspective.
A little G-96 oil and a light touch with 0000 steel wool on the metal, then reoiled it and wiped the excess off.
I couldn't get a bore shot, it started to rain more than I was comfortable with having the camera outside.

It could stand some more work, but I'm happy with it the way it is right now...gotta save something for the coming winter evenings.

I rubbed a section of rust off of the exterior metal at the shop and figured some oil and a rag would take care of a lot of the yuck, so I asked what the best price on it would be, they replied what was on the sticker that was on the buttstock.
I hemmed and hawed a little, then went ahead and paid. Did the 4473 for no reason after we got home and took it apart to find the 1895 tang date......but of course, you can't educate a shop owner about that stuff, they don't want to know.
The stock has the roughest Finn splice I've ever seen.The left side of the upper portion of the morphed stock sticks way out compared to the right side. It looks like they literally grafted two stock halves together to make this one. The lower half was German capture stamped.... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (WVchuck) http://milsurpshooter.net/topic/34778 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 08:54:37 PST
