| They Arrived!! Picked up my M38 and M39 today. Both came in at the same time from different distributors. M38 has a true M38 stock with matching numbers. Looks great! M39 is awesome as well! I can't wait to put up a range report. Should post some pictures tonight after work. After selling one rifle I now have more military collectibles than hunting rifles!!!!

| Aw, Marion. My SKS came home with me last week. But let's see who gets the pics up first! Race YA!!!! Got the M39 from SOG. SAKO with B barrel. M38 is all matching except the floor plate which is line out and over stamp. Looks great though.

| Thanks. I got the SOG catalog and have been tempted. They have a copy of my 03, so it makes it easy. Not a cheap Mosin... but not too bad. |

| Me too, Rich. If I had known what a great feeling rifle and well made rifle the Finn was I would have picked one up sooner. It just feels right and shoulders well. Now they have the VKTs on sale this month.

| Pardon my Mosin ignorance, but what the heck is that t-shaped tab for on the bottom-front barrel band in picture "DSCF0579.jpg"?! It kind of looks like you'd attach a bayonet to it....

For the above who asked, no I wanted a great rifle and a laminated stock. Bought the M38 from Centerfire Systems. Very pleased. The M38 I am sure has been refinished at some time in it's life but I can not tell that it has. It is sharp as new. Quote:
JAC that is exactly what it is. A bayonet lug. The Finns took the Mosins and reworked them and made them into a much better rifle. Better accuracy.
