A good friend of mine owns a gun/pawn shop in Norfolk Va. He keeps an eye out for me for various rifles I wouldn't mind having. I just got back from picking up 2 Mosin Nagants.
One is a 1915 westinghouse model 1891, with Finnish SA stamping. This is one rifle I never thought I would ever have.

The other is an undated Finnish M28, Civil Guard rifle in beautiful condition.

The Westinghouse looks about as good as one could expect from a 95 year old warhorse that served through 2 world wars.

They look good next to my Finnish M39.

Under $300 for both. I'm a happy camper today.

Westinghouse on top.

I have a 1915 Westinghouse too. It has SA Finn stampings as well. My buddy GAVE it to me!!!!! He had 2 and I cleaned them both up for him. He gave me one for my efforts...Told me to pick which one I wanted. It is a shooter and has killed 2 deer! Thanks Tony!! He still has the other one (Westinghouse) and I also know where another Westinghouse is.....

That's a great way to get a Westinghouse, by cleaning 2!

You see Trey, if someone cleans two of your rifles it is customary to give them one.

Somehow, I just don't see that happening. I might consider letting them borrow a magazine for a rifle or something like that though.

Very nice Trey45! I got to get one of those!!

I was never really big on the Mosins until I got an 1944 M44. I just love to shoot my fire breathin dragon. Got some milsurp ammo and now I want an M38 or 39 and a nice rifle. Good to have a friend like that!!! :D

Wow!

I collected a few nagants sold to pay bill. Never came across a westy, but did own a Remington. Buddy has it now.
