Quote HistoryQuoted: Getting tougher, but still doable. Everything requires a permit, but those can be had for e.g. sports, Army reservists and hunting provided that the applicant is not too fucked up in the head. Edit: Oh and suppressors are available if you have a gun permit. Very solid designs. I also use a lot of Viht powder, Lapua brass & bullets....and have a growing collection of Suomi issue Mosins. ...and what's not to love about FishCock??

Varusteleka.com is the only military surplus/outdoor gear store I know of that has an attached bar. When they moved to a new location they couldn't take the alcohol with them so they supposedly had a huge moving party where they sold drinks at near give-away prices if not gave drinks away for free.
That's my kind of store.

Just saw a news report today that next year there will be a Sami farm opening where people can go to learn the skills needed to farm reindeer. Would like to go if only to see it in operation. |

Been trying to find correct Sami boots. I also prefer the Sami type of knife to the more common puukko: got a new one, plus a nice wartime dated one with a homemade reindeer hide scabbard. Just saw a news report today that next year there will be a Sami farm opening where people can go to learn the skills needed to farm reindeer. Would like to go if only to see it in operation. Was interesting looking at their photos. A few people here still have some of the tools the Sami used. Shame that the herders are having to kill their herds. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The M28-30 is by far the best version of the Finn variants (best trigger, shimmed action, aluminum barrel bedding/floating block). Good luck with getting the trainer. I believe those are not that common, at least I have never seen one live. Are you perhaps dealing with people from pkymasehist.fi -forum (really amazingly knowledgeable bunch of gun and war history nerds)? May be useful finding metal fittings & buckles, plus I'm trying to find a good ahkio & an older issue bicycle...plus correct inert grenades, vodka crates, field radio sets, tents, etc. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It was also the only war Finland actually won: against their retreating former allies at the behest of their new Soviet masters. lol What I don't find funny at all, is that the retreating Germans burned down almost 100% of the buildings in Lapland, mined everything so that live mines can still be found today. |

My grandfather and grandmother were Finnish. He was in that war and apparently was a sniper and he killed a LOT of Soviet troops.
He was always worried when they would make trips back home to visit family in Finland because he thought the Soviet secret police might grab him and take him away. He always avoided the Finland/Russian border for that reason. My grandmother also told me there are a LOT of hidden weapons in Finland in preparation for another Russian invasion. How serviceable they are today....No idea. |

Lol indeed Herr_Professor... It is quite funny, that the herrenvolk was driven out of the country by an army of teenagers. What I don't find funny at all, is that the retreating Germans burned down almost 100% of the buildings in Lapland, mined everything so that live mines can still be found today. The Germans were going to retreat anyway, otherwise the Soviets would have invaded the whole of Finland if that part of the deal wasn't upheld. They just weren't retreating fast enough. But yeah, Germans gonna German. |

During the Global Depression of the 30's, many Finn's went to Russia where there was supposedly work available. Taking there families with them, alot never returned home as the majority ended up dead and those who remained we're not allowed to come back home as they were suspect of turning into Communists themselves.
