Pinned post for Q&A :)
1. Given its growing pains, how many different stock variations did the m/27 have? There are sources stating that the Finnish Army sent a number of m/27s to the Civil Guard, is this true?
2. What did the transition entail of m/39s from a straight stock & Puolustuslaitos variant to the more common variants produced after?
Since I believe you said you have learned the language, we could use some good phonetic pronunciations. i.e. Puolustuslaitos, Asevarikko, what SAT and VKT stand for, etc.
It would be interesting to hear more about Finnish use of captured m44 mosins. If at all
I think another interesting topic would be how lessons from WWII affected subsequent small arms development in Finland
Unrelated and Just for fun, in the apocalypse what is the only 1 caliber you use? All and any reasons are fair game, no restrictions
1. what was the purpose of the mosin 7.62x39 experiment in Finland? 2. what do these original rifles look like?
The Finns had a decent amount of M91/30s. How many were sourced via German capture? And how are those specific M91/30s distinguished?
Very insightful video! Keep up the fantastic content!
Good and informative. Look forward to seeing more
Awesome!
This man is clearly a MN SME! Looking forward to his posts about other variants of MN’s! Where did they come from? Why did the Finns use them? How did the Finnish MNs compare to the Russians’?
And so it begins!
Just the other day, I was wondering if you were going to do more videos! Super interesting!
Incredible well researched video on such an esoteric mosin variants. Thank you for putting in the work to make this
Perfect video !!! Please, can you do the M39 SOV for the next video ?
pH scope... so is it acidic or basic? Sorry... poor joke. Glad to see you back on RUclips!
Kiitos Mike, good to see you as well. This is a very basic Mosin, nothing special about it ;-)
Glad to have found your channel. Extremely good content as well. Other than VKT barrels, any info on mid to late 1940s Tikka barreled M91s?
The last year of Tikkakoski m/91 barrel production was 1943, but AV1 and AV3 did assemble wartime production barrels after the end of WWII.
Great video! Watching this about the universal scope made me think about the US using a commerical scope and mount for WW2 snipers. Sooo hypothetical question. Let’s say there’s an alternate universe and the US wanted to adopt the mosin over the 1903. What mosin would suit the US needs/ what features from different mosins would the US use? (any Mosin variant even post ww2)
Would you be willing to, perhaps, film a range day with it?
If you could only keep one rifle in your collection, which one would it be? Why that one?
