Dug a mint in cosmoline m39 out of storage. Hang tag.
Curious if 69 was a lower production year for these. Are hang tags very common.

Re: 1969 M39
Very nice, I think all the later date M39's were low production.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Re: 1969 M39
Nice example of a Late Date m/39. 1969 is the least common of the four years that AV1 and AV3 assembled these: 1967-1970. They assembled a total of roughly 6,400 Late Date m/39 rifles from reconditioned earlier production and spare parts.
There are rumors of 1973-dated examples, but despite my best efforts I have yet to authenticate one.
