Nope. There are a couple of M91's at the far end of the stack,
then a couple of 91/30's, then five T53's.

Welcome aboard East of Here! Feel free to post individual
pictures of your rifles. I personally am a sucker for a nice,
old, long rifle M91.

I have a few M91's. Above, that's a N.E.W. and a 1904 Tula.
Both were cheap pawn shop finds. I also have a 1940 Tikka
barreled Finn M-91. However, I got the Tikka from Bubba, who
had self-sporterized the rifle by throwing away the handguard
and cutting off the forestock with a hacksaw while the rifle was
still in it. Thus, it has no 'real' stock (it is currently
sitting in a 91/30 donor stock with no barrel bands or handguard
that will fit) and it has score marks on either side of the
barrel where Bubba nicked the metal with the hacksaw when he
clumsily hacked off the stock. ::)

That Sako 28/30 was actually the cheapest one on that rack to
buy. It was also a pawn shop find from a few months ago. The
guy running the shop told me he'd cut me a great deal on it
because nobody wanted "those cheap Russian rifles". Needless to
say, there was at least ONE person who wanted that 'cheap
Russian rifle'. Let's just say that I paid less than what you'd
pay now to get a refurb 91/30 from Gander Mountain or Cabelas.
Sometimes, life is good to you.

Wow! I love it when no one wants the cheap "Russian" ones. I'm
about 3 rifles shy of joining the Finn mafia myself!

Yeah, I just picked up a Finn matching 1944 Tikka 91/30 last
weekend for $125. It has a mirror bore and was still full of
cosmoline. The funny thing is, the guy posted it for like $150
and was getting a ton of sh*t from the idiots on that local
group saying he was asking way too much money for it.
Seriously.
