Finn family portrait...

Postby Calfed » Fri May 06, 2016 2:29 am

My interest was piqued by a recent post regarding SKY M39 serial numbers on another forum and I decided to get mine out of the safe and check the s/n. Of course, it was at the back of the safe, so I had to pull out all the other Finns out to get to it.

Decided it was a great family photo op...

Are you perhaps Finnish? I grew up with loads of folks of Finnish decent. The first Prime Minister of Findland is buried near my hometown in Massachusetts.

That's a wonderful collection!!!!!! Nice one!!! :thup: :thup: :thup:

Thanks, flinty

LOL..actually I am part Finn, but I would love the Finnish Mosins even if I wasn't.

I've got a real love for Swiss, Swedish, and Finnish rifles

Alas, elders in the US develop myopia too. Perhaps SidebySide or Lee can help you with that problem. :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz:

Thanks, Ray.

I live in California, which seems to be trying to emulate England when it comes to firearms law. We aren't there yet, but you can see it coming.

After seeing this Finnish family reunion I was inspired too take out my Finnish select-fire M-76 in 5.56. Calfed I shot a 30 round magazine in 3 to 5 round bursts in your honor. Funny how fast you go thru a 500 round case.
