Second M39

Post by timlin33 »

Went to the gun show last weekend and bought ($360 out the door) another M39 for myself for Christmas (it called my name, really!). This one has an 1895 receiver, 1941 VKT barrel, wartime stock and an interesting stock cartouche of an L in a circle which is supposed to indicate V. Lindholmin Puusepäntehdas as the subcontractor. Bore is in beautiful condition as is the rest of the rifle with the usual dings in the stock one would expect from a battle rifle. One question I have is why the circular stock repairs? This one has two. Anyway enjoy the pics.

Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

8-) :thumbsup: The Finns liked to remove any knots in the wood as they were possible weak points hence the circular plug repairs. If you take off the butt plate it's possible that the plugs came from there. Congrats on another M39. 8-)

Very nice. Not fair you have two, when some of us have none.
M39 will be my next purchase for sure.

Congratulations! I love those M39s! I'll be looking for a 1941 VKT in wartime stock myself. I'm being picky right now though. I got my Sako in January and my SKY in September. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
