I've been very hesitate to disassemble my M39's because I do not have a torque screw driver, nor do I know the Finn's torqueing techniques or specs. :vconfused:

Hence, I error on the side of don't mess with it if it's functional, but checks out from a safety standpoint. ;mywink;
I don't know of any specs on torquing screws for any of the Mosins. I just snug everything but not crank on them to the point of having to grunt.

Cool! I think that is the only OEWG Austrian stamped rifle I have ever seen, other than the one shown on Ted's site. :thumbsup:
