Model 28 Finn and 91/30 Moison Nagant
 

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...
