A generous member traded this to me for a cup of coffee today. I was bewildered after seeing it and consulted with Dr.

. I think we have it identified as a Finn M28. The modifications and shortening of the barrel are amazing. Not sure if this was a field modification by the carrier or done post era. One thing seems true is that the owner wanted a shorter rifle and didn't get "Bubba" to do it....lol. Anyway I am going to scarf a bolt soon and have the Doctor check it out. It is shorter than my m44 and t53. Hope we can get her running and take some flame throwing pictures.
