Late in the Continuation War Tikkakoski produced M91/30 rifles although it is a less refined model than the current M39. The project was probably undertaken simply because there were large numbers of M91/30 parts on hand from captured Soviet rifles that were not serviceable otherwise. The most noticeable difference in these and Soviet M91/30s is the blade front sight as opposed to the post and globe used by the Soviets, although some of the Finnish rifles also use a post and globe. Most Finnish M91/30s are built on the earlier hexagonal receivers, but there are some found on later round receivers, primarily with barrel dates of 1944.

Sight Variations
The Finnish M91/30 is a direct copy of the Soviet model utilizing primarily captured parts. The rear sight is identical to the earlier Soviet version. All graduations are on top of the leaf from 1 to 20 representing hundreds of meters. The base is attached to the barrel with a dovetail of the same size as the M91. There is a set screw at the rear of the base under the leaf and the base is also soldered in place. Early leaves have a deep notch which extends down to the flat of the leaf and early slides have a slope on the forward top edge. Later parts may also be found on Finnish M91/30s.
The front sight base is integral with the barrel and the same size as the Soviet version. The Finns preferred blade front sights over the post and globe so a spacer was utilized to raise a standard M91 type blade to the correct height for the M91/30 rear sight. This is know among US collectors as a "Finnish stacked blade". This type of sight is also found on some Soviet M91/30 rifles captured or purchased by Finland.
While it is less common, the Soviet post and globe can also be found on Finnish made M91/30s.
