M39 Arrived from SOG

[pcrc11]

My M39 came in yesterday from SOG. Ended up with a 1942 VKT. I paid for the hand picked option and asked for excellent bore and stock. Bore cleaned up to a mirror shine. Stock is pretty nice, does have a toe repair and some dings, other than that I am pretty happy with it. Bluing is about 50%. The receiver, bolt and floorplate are all matching numbered, am very happy with that. Spent most of the morning with rifle disassembled and soaking in cleaner. Not much cosmo but a ton of dirt and sand. All cleaned and put back together and ready for range.

Very nice! I was thinking about getting one of these from SOG, but right now I'm leaning towards a M48 Mauser. That's pretty cool you got such an old receiver

[Guest VolDaddy]

Nice one. How much was the total if I may ask?

[pcrc11]

About 265.00 with handpick, shipping and credit card surcharge

These are Finns,right?

[pcrc11]

The Finns captured the Russian rifles and rebuilt them to their specs. Far and above a regular Mosin Nagant.

Yep. Basically all they kept where the receivers and bolts. Just about everything else was of Finnish manufacture, including a slightly redesigned magazine.
