M/91: When Finland achieved independence from Russia, over 190,000 Model
1891 infantry rifles were already stockpiled in the ex-Russian military depots within
Finland. As a result, the rifle was adopted as the standard Finnish Army weapon,
and surplus Mosin–Nagants were purchased from other European nations which
had captured them during World War I.[33] These rifles were overhauled to meet
Finnish Army standards and designated M/91.
In the mid-1920s Tikkakoski made new barrels for m/91s. Later starting in 1940,
Tikkakoski and VKT began production of new M/91 rifles. VKT production ceased
in 1942 in favor of the newer M/39 rifle...
