Finn Captured 41 Izhevsk M38 / numbers matching

Post by Miller Tyme »

Life is about compromises, and sometimes you take what you can get and make the best out of it, this is such a case.

I have been looking for a Finn Captured M38 for some time and when I found a numbers matching one at a very reasonable price I was intrigued. I looked the pic's over and even though the stock had a crack in the wrist and had been refinished I decided it was worth the effort to acquire.


It's a 41 Izhevsk M38, all numbers matching and all Izhevsk parts. The stock like I said has a crack in the wrist and has been refinish ( though it isn't some garish job). I figure with as hard as it is to find a Finn Captured M38 this one will do just fine in my collection.

Thanks everyone, I have wanted one of these for quite some time, guess it's time to look for a [SA] M44.

Thanks Bill, guess all the O/T I have been putting in out in Huntington the past 3 days has more than paid for this gem. :lol:

I really love the look of it from what I can see. If that is refinished it was done as carefully as possible, and without sanding I think. Congratulations.

When you locate the Finn-stamped M44, please find two and sell one to me!

Good work on the matching M38, Miller.

Walt, I don't believe that you work at all. :biggrin: You have time to find every gem and seem to have hit the lottery once or twice to pay for all the sweet gems.

Oh ya the rifle. Ya I guess it looks ok. Nothing special. :bs.gif: :D
