RE: Mosin-Nagant
The Finn Model 39,28 and 28/30's are excellant if you can locate one.The Sako made barrels are marked SKY.They only made barrels as the actions are used over and over again.Also Steyr made some. The Hex recievers are a hold over from the Czarist era and those made by Westinghouse and Remington are true .308 bore as are most of the Finn models.The Finns had a 40-1 kill ratio against the Reds in the 105 day winter war and between 750,000-1,000,000 Soviets never came home.This was very difficult for Stalin to cover up.One Finn sniper killed 535 Russians with a open sighted 28/30 in 105 days roughly 5 a day.One Russian sniper taken out at 600 meters!This is no 30-30 class cartridge by any means.Winchester also made a run [complete with bayonet] of full stocked lever action 95's in 7.62x54R for the Czar.Neat history..................Harold
