....well I suppose this can go in this section...its a M91 that has the Westinghouse marks on the reciever tang but at some point in its life it was assimilated by the Finns who put a 42' dated barrel on it and stamped it with their SA in box...she is Finn matched,I just dont have a cleaning rod for it...WW2 stock with round splices and very pretty wood...sharp lands and groves but dark bore....finally got a chance to take her out to shoot at Rad's range...I had several different types of ammo I could've shot,Ruski silver tipped 147 gr. ,Bulgarian silver tipped...some copper case 76' Yugo heavy ball and 80's Czech steel case copper wash 147 gr liteball.....I opted for that and the Yugo heavy ball just to see what it may like...1st 10 shots were the Yugo...shot high and no particular group I could get-but then again I was just trying to get a feel for it....switched to the Czech and said WOW...!!!...the 1st 2 shots at 100yds straddled the #10 on an 8" shoot-n-see target!!!...I shouldnt have looked thru the spotting scope because then I psyched myself out and the rest went elswhere...:BangHead: ....still,now I know wht this baby can do and I look forward to our next trip out:D ....only thing that gave me pause was that I had one split neck on the Czech,but all the rest were fine.....dunno why:dontknow: ...I LOVE THIS RIFLE...!!!.....shoots better than me...

...for some strange reason this site wont let me attatch 2 pics relevent to this thread because they are in another post-never had thaty problem before...:cussing: ...they are of the target and another shot of the 91 so you'll have to go to the shootin the breeze section-birthday thread...:BangHead:
