Rifle matches, in the Finnish style, has a bright bore and shoots very nicely. The stock is banged up pretty well---but they can't ALL be Rack Queens.

Great looking rifle you got there Krinko.

Never mind the banged up stock.

A rifle like that is high on my wishlist.

Congrats on the find.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Martin

Nice!

My brother picked this one up on Thursday for $120.

It's built on an 1894 Chatelleraut receiver.

Austrian capture, it would seem.
