The Finn's built M39's out of parts from older Mosin's so the numbers, when they have them, usually don't match. The only part they consistently matched to the rifle was bolt, that is considered Finn matching. That looks like a nice example of a 44 Sako.

Typical Finn mismatched parts with new barrel, sights & stock for the M39 Configuration. Nothing better, wouldn't change a thing! :vcool: :vcool:

Pretty sweet Sako. Nothing wrong with this rifle. Finn matched bolt which is what you are likely to expect. Sometimes these Sako's had a matching floor plate. Congrats...
