Hi All,
I've been trying to acquire an "early" Finnwolf for some time now. My first 2 Wolves were Garcia-era, 1 in 243 and the other in 308. Both have the flush 3 shot magazines and somewhat "chunky" barrels and stocks and neither have a cheekpiece (I guess these are "ambidextrous" stocks?). I was then able to pick up a slightly older Wolf in 308 with a slimmer barrel profile and a more slender stock. This rifle has the 4 shot "coffin" magazine as well as 3 point checkering. I was fortunate enough for Santa to bring me a 4th Wolf for Christmas. This rifle, also in 308, seems identical to my 3rd however, it's barrel has the Bofors Steel mark and the checkering is of the 2 point/double border variety. I guess my question is, were there any even earlier variations of Finnwolfs that had pistol grip caps, other features, etc.? Perhaps an even slimmer stock?
Thank you!
