I wouldn’t mind having a “Lotta” rifle. Finnish m24.
“This auxiliary organization founded after the Finnish war of Liberation in 1919 was known as the “Lotta Savard”. The group would go on to organize and raise funds to allow the purchase and refurbishment of 10,000 m/24 rifles for the Civil Guard. Thus the m/24 would bear the nickname “Lottakivaari” or “Lotta’s rifle”

I wouldn’t mind having a “Lotta” rifle. Finnish m24. The Finns noted problems with the bayonet lug, handguard and sights, cured on the 28-30 model, of which I have had 3. It also has a .3085 bore, most suitable for American-access commercial bullets.
The soldiers of Finland's Civil Guard had to buy their own rifles. Thus, *old hands* tended to keep their old rifles, newer and younger soldiers had the new stuff. But either will perform, though I can tell the difference. The 28-30 has the edge.
