Would love to add one of these to my collection but can never find one? Anyone know where to find one of these? I’ve searched rock island, morphys, gun broker, guns international/America, gun auction. Mechanically they are neat and aren’t too expensive but just really hard to find. Would love help finding one of these

That’s a new one!! :thumbup:

It sure looks like you better not creep up on the stock too much or you’ll get the breech sliding back into your schnoz :what:.

Good luck with your search. :)

Stay safe..
 
Well, what a coincidence. I've been watching this for a while now, €200 ($237 at today's exchange rate) for what seems to be a reasonably solid Sjögren. I don't collect shotguns and it would be more or less a curiosity so I'm not hellbent on buying it. While they're not common around here either, this is not by far the only one I've seen for sale during last few years.

Like I mentioned in another, Winchester 1895 thread, having EU export papers arranged isn't prohibitively expensive or difficult. Shipping may cost something but all this is nothing a good gun shop couldn't handle. The closest one to this particular seller is www.asejaera.fi so if you're serious about this, it might be a good idea to contact the shop and ask them if they can arrange the purchase and shipping for you so you don't have to worry about the paperwork.

1.do you think it would be still available because it says last updated 2019 and
2. Would you think it’s still operational? Seems kind of on the cheaper side. I’m not aware of Finland’s guns laws.

It's still active. It has been renewed recently. That particular gun auction/classifieds site expires and closes all ads that aren't renewed regularly so anything that still has contact information visible (this one has) is valid.
A quick translation of the description, as-is: "World's first mass produced semiautomatic shotgun Sjögren, functioning collectible gun, which requires a valid semiautomatic purchase permit." So at least the seller declares it as a functioning firearm, which is a good sign.

Gun laws in Finland have turned to [expletive] during last few years. It used to be very easy and straightforward to get a permit for pretty much any semiautomatic but after 2018 it has become pretty difficult and consists of a boatload of EU-mandated red tape. Sales have ground to a halt, which is reflected in prices too. Just a few years ago a Sjögren would've sold quickly for €500+, now the seller has been trying to sell it for well over a year and as he has kept renewing the ad, there have been no takers so far.

Few private sellers are willing to obtain export paperwork and figure out how to ship it (DHL, UPS, Finnish postal service etc. won't ship guns for private persons anymore) but there are a number of gun shops who can handle everything for you. If the shop I linked won't do it for one reason or another, PM me and I'll ask around who will.

Give them some time. It's been weekend (mind the time zone, EET, which is 7 hours ahead of US eastern time), they'll open again on monday and it might take a working day or two before they'll get back to you.
