Built by Tikkakoski in Finland and barrel-dated 1944, this M91/30 (M/30) retains the Finnish boxed SA property mark and the Tikkakoski emblem on the barrel shank. It reflects the limited Tikkakoski production run of 1943–1944 and carries the correct WWII-era configuration and markings.
The rifle is chambered in 7.62x54R and uses a 5-round integral magazine. It features a 29 in barrel and an overall length of about 48.5 in, with a straight bolt handle and round knob. The bolt is left in the white, while the receiver and other steel components are blued.
Sighting is via M91/30 pattern iron sights: a tangent/ladder rear sight graduated 1–20 hundred meters and an unhooded, drift-adjustable front blade. The rifle wears a full-length handguard, two barrel bands, and bottom sling swivels. The hardwood stock includes a finger groove forearm and a measured length of pull of 13.25 in.
Markings include the boxed SA and Tikkakoski emblem, plus import markings: "M91/30 FINLAND 7.62x54R" and "CAI ST. ALB. VT." on the rifle. Mixed serial numbers are present. This configuration aligns with Finnish service practices of the era while retaining the recognizable Mosin-Nagant platform details.
