I've been looking for a Finn capture for quite a while now. Only issue with this one is the crack in the stock. I'd assume it's the original because it faintly bears the Tula stamp/date on the buttstock. I love the color of this one. What's your thoughts on the repair? I got mixed reviews on whether it's an arsenal repair or not. It still has most of it's Tula parts still on it except for a few parts. It has a Remington bolt body. Also seems E.T. Owned this at one point..lol
I'm pretty happy with this one especially getting it for $200.

Nice looking Finn Capture Vasily Zaytsev thanks for the pics. Love these rifles. I used to frequent the Bullet Stop whenever I had company business in Wichita. The company I worked for was founded there, and the membership at the Bullet Hole in Overland Park (lived in Lenexa) was good there. I have a finn capture '39 Tula also.....a little different than yours. Took for ever to find this one. Denny

Thank you. I like bullet stop I usually go to bullseye though. That's prob the cleanest fin capture I've ever seen. Very nice man. I hate those stupid billboard import marks. Why couldn't they stick with the discreet ones under the muzzle..

I think the reason for the split stock in the O.P. is because the rear of the tang is in contact with the wood.
Mine was split like that when I got it. I glued and pegged it as in the O.P. Has been fired now a good deal and nothing nasty happened to it, And, the barrel is getting cleaner all the time. :)

Very nice rifle Vasily!!

Thanks I appreciate that.

Pukka Bundook I believe your right. I've seen many people repair their cracks with glue and work great. Not sure I'll do that with this one though.

Mike O I didn't even notice that. That is a rare find dang..

Daniel 39 I've always wanted one with trench art or something the owner did during war or whatever. I'm really digging this new one.
