Arisaka T30 Civil Guard marked
T30 Civil Guard "S" mkg
T30 muzzle w/plastic muzzle cap I believe this cap is a Japanese developed cap from the 30's therefore technically incorrect on the Finn rifle
T 30 Action Good view of the top rear of the T30 action, the cocking knob is in the form of a "hook", hence the term Arisaka hook safety rifle

Arisaka T38 Civil Guard marked These seem to be very rare, even more so than the Finn marked T30's, this particular rifle is well used & worn but it's the only T38 Finn I've seen yet.

M91 Ulanni carbine right The Ulanni is a cut down M91 rifle, purportedly done for the Civil Guard in the early 20's to make use of M91's w/bad crowns or upper bores, probably for use of horse mounted troops. Identifying 1 as original of course would be very difficult, this particular example has a Century import stamp on the barrel bottom where it should be, which would be gone if the rifle was cut down here in the US.

Finn Dragoon w/exp sight under a Finn M28 Very rare rifle, originally a Dragoon, taken/used by the Finns, it has an eared front sight protector which is very similiar to the M27-M28 type but it is a different one, check the pics for comparison. Purportedly made in the early 40's as an experiment.
