Three Finn Civil Guard rifles.

Post by oldironsights » Sat Aug 09, 2008 10:53 pm

I took these three along with my two SMLE's.

Due to my lack of attention, only one disappointed me due to the excessive cosmoline in the chamber. :oops:

The oldest is a 91/24 with a stepped Bohler-Stahl barrel from Germany mated to a Westinghouse receiver. This rig looks new.

Second is an early 28/30 from 1933 with a barrel made of Swedish steel.

This rig also looks new.

last is a 1944 M39 with tiger stripes. All the numbers match on this one.

It does not look new. It has seen some use, but the bore is mirror bright!

NICE rifles!!!!!!!!!!! :bigsmile:

The m/24 and m/28/30 are rebuilts, the m/28-30 wears a later stock and the m/24 has the newer m/91 frontsight installed.

Not uncommon, to see those mods made to older CG rifles, but they are still great pieces of history nad fantastic shooters.

mosu, only the 1944 SKY came from an online seller

The other two were found at gun shows in Southern Louisiana.
