I'll Show You Mine If You'll Show Me Yours (Part Deux)

Not seeing anything.


Shot another 40 rounds today. Adjusted the sight one click, and now it shoots to the right.

Two other people had some high end AR-15s. Makes mine feel plain.

The next things I will get is a .22LR conversion kit and a Primary Arms Aimpoint clone.

He's talking about this.

This is my new to me '44 VKT M39!

I made the last post on the last page.

How many Finns you already have? Well, you can

As you said you can't have too many! All I need now is a '45 and I'll have one from each year of the first run (except for 1940). All of mine are on pre-99 receivers so legally they aren't even rifles here!

I believe this one was assembled post war to begin with. It's a pretty high number, and doesn't appear to be a re-blue. A lot of them in it's serial number range are built the same way.

Still can't see it on the other page.

This has been happening a lot recently (can't view pictures). Is there something I am missing? I am using Firefox.

Check through all of your options... no problems here with FF 3.5.5

Those Finn rifles are like a boat anchor, heavier then a Garand.

The weight doesn't bother me. It's about a pound, if that. If I was a soldier lugging it around all day I'd get tired of it quick, but just shooting it ain't that big of a deal.

Of course I'm 6'4" tall, and 200 pounds. So that could have something to do with it.

The weight difference with many Finn Mosins (m24, m28/30, m39) compared to m91/30 is about 300 grams. Not a big deal really. And M1 weights at least as much, since the minimum weight of M1 is 4,3 kg.

Idk, I have a M91/30 and M39, and the M39 feels quite a bit heavier. Atleast with the Garand I'm getting semi automatic. Just pick up a Springfield 1903 and M39, the Springfield feels like a toy compared to it.

Maybe it

I'm always amazed at how light and handy the 91/30 feels given it's length. Haven't handled an M39 though, they're very rare (and expensive) over here.

 

[Flogger23m]

I'll disagree with you about the 91/30's weight.

Then again, I've never held any other rifle that is of that size.

It's longer than my m/96, but about 3/4 or less the weight.

Hmmm...maybe that

[Peter.Steele]

Probably.

Does an M16A2 with M203 count though? Seems similar in size.

Edit: Actually, I held a Yugo Mauser. Pretty sure it was a 24/47. It seemed to weight a bit less. Never shouldered it though.

M24/47 - 9.35 lbs

M91/30 - 8.8 lbs
M38 - 7.5 lbs
M44 - 9 lbs

M16A2 w/M203 - 11.79 lbs

 

[Flogger23m]

Amazing that the M44 weighs more than the 91/30.

I guess that the bayonet on the M44 makes it weight more, and for the 91/30, the measurement doesn't include the bayonet. Not that the bayonet was that heavy though.

Interestingly, even if you take the M203 off, the M16A2 is only .01 pounds lighter than the 91/30.

Isn't the M16A2 the most heaviest of the M16 variants?

It's funny I think I find the 91/30 so light as it is light compared to the Enfields which are what I shoot mostly.
