I had a Swede I wasn't that into and posted it for trade last night. Had a response in 10 minutes asking if I would trade for a M39. I had been wanting another one so I think this worked out pretty good for both of us.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

That is a nice one. I like the plum barrels nice grab on that one. Looks very nice. Ni8ce post war stock too it looks like.

Wow that sure is a beauty! Swedes are nice and tackdrivers usually but the ammo is getting up there so the M39 is a good deal even straight up! Congrats! Thanks for sharing with us. Bill

I would just guess the 133 may be a rack number for the Finn's to store under? Unusual spot for one but I started thinking maybe they had verticle racks and the butt plate (where they normally are) would not work for them? Best I can do! Bill
