Tikka, the Finnish maker, reworked and produced Mosin Nagant rifles, and this 91/30 is described by the seller as a beautiful rifle. It comes with a bayonet. It is used, chambered in 7.62x54mmR, with a 29 inch barrel, a five round internal magazine and a wood and steel finish.

Finland fought the Soviet Union with Mosins, and the Finnish arsenals, including Tikka, rebuilt many of the captured rifles. That added to the history of the pattern, and Finnish-marked rifles are usually rated above the Soviet standard for finish and accuracy. Ask your dealer to check for Finnish markings and for the Tikka mark on the receiver or barrel.

The Mosin is a strong and simple rifle. The bolt is stiff at first and loosens with use, the trigger is heavy, and the rifle is long. But the cartridge is powerful and accurate at medium distance, and many owners shoot theirs regularly.

With a bayonet the package is complete. It is sold as described. It ships to a licensed dealer of your choice, and the background check is completed there.
