My M39 just came in!

MosinDave · 11-07-2006, 07:43 PM

I've been waiting all week for it to arrive! I beat the UPS man to my FFL by about a minute, and was there to open the door for him as he walked up. It is a Finn-matching Sako 1941. I'll need to take it apart again to get the receiver date and other little details about it to post up. The stock definitely looks wartime issue and has plenty of character marks on it, but surprisingly enough the bluing is in VERY good condition... like close to 90% or better condition.
Those Finns sure knew how to redesign a Mosin, best way I can describe the M39 is a Mosin on Steroids! The stock and hand guard are a lot beefier, the barrel is heavier, and everything seems to be very strong and reinforced. As soon as I get a chance I will get some pics up for all to see. I think I'm in love!
