hello there
i have only recently started collecting mosins as they are very cheap and plentiful here in Va. at the gun shows. well i got my first one it was an ok heap. i fell in love with them and from there on done as much research on them as i know how. well i have 5 now. as of a week or so ago, i found a 1943 finnish SA stamped izzy with finger splice joints wire hangers blade front site, all matching numbers, great bore, round receiver highwall. the only reason im interested in this rifle is because 7.62x54r.net rates this "style" as a 9 rarity on a scale of 1 - 10 10 being rarest. well on the same web site i read a review you and some others done on some rifles some time back for the same web site. my question is .... is this rifle rare at all ? about what kind of value?
thank you for your time
