Magnificent beautifull babies you got their. What ammo did you fired? (Check headstamps on the rounds and post em, i'll search me soviet cartidge book)
No need, you have 147 grain, steel core ammo, made by Klimov/Novosibirsk, in 1975. Great rounds, i have a case myself,but from 1978. This is great surplus ammo.
I'd like the see a picture of the receiver tang of your Tikka 1891. Usually there is a 2, 3 or 4 digit date and an arsenal mark. Could tell you more about it with that information. They're nice rifles, I have VKT refinished one from 1941, it's the most accurate rifle in my collection. I have 7 other Mosins to compare it to and 15 rifles total, so that says a lot about their quality.
Not all of the WW1 goodies I have, but it represents the main rifles used in the front line at one point of the war at least.Top to Bottom: UK: Smle III*, Italy: Carcano 1891, Switserland: Schmidt Rubin 1889/11, France: Berthier 1907/15, Austria-Hungary: Steyr Manlicher m95, Germany: Gew 88/05
Thanks,6 that are curently on the WW1 list is the canadian ross rifle, the american springfield, the american P-17, the Belgian mauser, the frensh lebel and the german gew98.I think i am sort of complete then.And then there is the list of second line weapons... sigh. It will never end
How can i forget... ofcourse, not a turk mauser though. somehow.. just like those swedish mausers, i don't like them.....
