    New Finnish M28/76

    I haven't seen many of these lately and grabbed it at auction when I saw this one.

    Only have the auction pics now

        I'll probably have to slug the bore, but does anyone know if these came with a .308 or a .311 bore?

          Nice! It took a while to find my M28/76 as I’m a lefty. Mine slugged .308 but I’ve read of some with .310
          C&R nut.

            Most are .308 but because some were made from M39 they can be .310 or .3095. Yours is likely .308. Congrats. I will check and see if it is in a database sent to me by someone who was probably the largest collector of M28/76 before he sold them

            Don't have that number, but have 11127 and 11245. From at least 10888 to 11273 they are dated 1976 and marked ASEV1.

              Dang you are missing the front diopter and I just sold one. Let me know if you want one and I will try and find you one.

                Thanks, Cap! Definitely want one.

                Also, this one came with the scope base. What's the word on getting the scope mount for that base?

                    Original pretty much impossible. You need to get lucky and find a scope with it. There was a repo made years ago by someone. I am working on getting some original commercial mounts. I just bought and sold some original commerical scopes.

                    I'll find a Diopter. I also have extra of all 6 inserts.

There's no possible way that CGN members marching alongside the Pink Pistols in the SF Pride Parade can do anything to dispel the stereotype that gun owners are conservative bigots clinging to their guns and bibles. Not a single person in the crowd is rational or reachable because the parade's for gay folks and it's in SF.

                          Not yet. Actually still waiting for the rifle to arrive

                            That's a very nice example. One rifle I have never owned.

                              Hello,

                              When do you expect this to arrive? I'm always interested to see how well these shoot; they're awesome rifles.

                              Regards,
                              Josh
