The following link came to my inbox today. I'd no idea that the good old P17 was still in active service somewhere in the world - Greenland of all places.

the 1891 Mosin Nagant still serves Finland...
some receivers date to very earliest years on the 7.62 TKIV 85 used by the Finnish Defense Service.

The P17 Still In Service - who knew?
A very interesting article, thank for sharing it.
Awesome!
Milsurps turned me into a collector, rather than just a shooter/hunter. That is a neat article. I had no idea the US M1917 was still being used like that!
Awesome!
Great info. Thanks for posting, Paul.
