When I first started collecting Mosins, I wanted one of each model including as many models as practical of non-Russian Mosins. Among the non-Russians, I picked up a Chinese T53, Hungarian M44, and as for Finns, a M39 and then a M27.
After a while, I decided to focus mainly on M91s, so I picked up a Finn M91. Since my interest has grown in M91’s I have sold my Chinese and Hungarian carbines to concentrate on Russian guns. But I have ended up with even more Finns, even though I’m not sure if I will keep all of them - especially my duplicate arsenal/years. Sometimes, you just can’t pass up a great deal.
Here they are:
