I heard that Finnish M27 Mosin Nagants are available for 90-120 Euros! If only there was a legal way of getting them into the UK...

I'm working on that now. The process I've worked out goes like this:
1 - Pay someone to buy your weapon in Finland
2 - Arrange with a British gun dealer to import the weapon. Explain why. Sound like a mentalist. Usually after half an hour he will agree to get you out of the shop.
3 - Get the person in Finland to exchange details with the gun shop owner. When the owner is satisfied your Finn friend isn't a criminal, arrange for the weapon to be sent with its Finnish deactivation certificate.
4 - The gun dealer receives the gun, sends it to the Birmingham Proof House for deactivation and charges you £70+.
5 - BPH receives the deactivated weapon, looks at it for a few minutes and decides that, as it's deactivativated to Finnish standards, it therefore is to British ones. Welds the bolt up if they're having a rotten day.
6 - (Some time later) grudgingly issues a British deactivation ticket and sends the gun to the gun dealer.
7 - Congratulations! You have a gun! It's only cost (price of gun + price of shipping + gun dealer's charges)!
Simple, innit?

Do they have a deactivation law in Finnland?
I thought guns were free to posses overthere.

Only "2nd model" ie with muzzle brake, but better than nothing. Wikind ships abroad as well - at least I think so.

The Suomi looks to be very similar to the old Danish MP44, but ours were of Swedish manufacture.
Excellent weapons and very sturdy indeed.

What's the average price for a deac Suomi over there? Wasn't looking at Tamarms, possibly still shocked by the Eu890 price tag on the Lahti-Saloranta.
