#1: Model 28 Finn and 91/30 Moison Nagant Author: Gil Martin, Location: Schnecksville, PA

I was powering down for the weekend and talked with my buddy at a local gun shop. After a long dry spell of few gun trades, he bought 50 guns today. We chatted a length and reviewed the inventory and there were two Moison Nagants in the sale. I promised to stop by on my way home.

Turns out he had a Finnish Model 28 mint, matching and lovely bore along with a Moison Nagant 91/30 also mint, matching with a perfect bore and all the accessories. We haggled and they sold for $85 each. No, I did not need them. The surplus dealers want more for rifles with "dark" bores, multicolored wood and enough different numbers for a bingo game. I just got a cost of living raise and spent it wisely. All the best...

K.W.,
Good to hear from you. I really like Finnish rifles and found an Italian 7.35mm 1938 Carcano carbine with SA markings. All the best...

Lee Harvey Oswald apparently used a Mannlicher-Carcano 6.5 mm, according to what I could determine on the Interweeb. Funny, when KW asked, I hadn't really thought about it before, but of course it's the age old thing. I know exactly where I was when the news of the shooting was announced, so I went and looked it up just now.

I can recall as a young child having a sense of how important the news was, world altering, probably because of my Mom's reaction and yet after all these years, and always having been a bit of a gun nut, not knowing that information. Huh! wtf

Good call, KW.

K.W.,
Yes, the Italian government sent a shipment of 7.35mm Carcano carbines to Finland in 1939 to help hold off the Russians. All the best...
