[AWO425]

Right on time for the Finnish Independence Day celabration a new memeber of the crew came to me with a big yellow truck

One of the first 2500 SIG made barrels for the Lottakivääri.
The rifle served in Helsinki CG district, was later transfered to the Army and got a arsenal overhaul there. From the looks of the blueing it was never used after that.
No [SA] stamp, and there is a outlined number 375 on the left of the receiver.
Also the S in front of the rifle number 321 was crossed out.
Barrel is somewhet worn but no counterbore, stron lands.

That is a good find Chris! Is the stock birch or walnut?

 

[AWO425]

Walnut, finnish made, but lighter, than the other 2(or 3??) I have.

 

[Vic]

Nice looking one for sure.

 

[Acutus]

Awesome find! Really great looking rifle.

 

[Radom]

That's a biggie. Don't you wish it looked worse, though?? Still, I wouldn't push it out of my bed.

 

[Flakshield]

I would give it a feather pillow...it's a beauty...congrats, Chris.

Gee, I was perfectly happy with my regular stepped barrel M24 till I saw this thread. Seriously though, congratulations on a very nice rifle!
