Delivery from Pat Burns...

Post by TulaTom »

The big brown truck showed up earlier this week. I was a little nervous about the rifles arrival due to others that have had issues with shipping. My experience was excellent though. The rifle was really packed in bubble wrap and the box cavities filled with newspaper. Took me a bit to unwrap the rifle. You pay a premium, but the rifle was better than advertised. I'd order again from her with no qualms. Haven't had a chance to take apart and clean the M39, but I know it has an 1898 Tula tang. Didn't get a good picture of the extractor yet, but it's blued. Since this is my first Finn, I'll let the experts tell me if that is common or not?

That is a very nice rifle! Congrats on your selection. I predict that the "premium" price will look like a great bargain before long. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I have bought three rifles from Burns and all three transactions went perfectly and the rifles were at least as good as described.

She owns guns and ammo.com or something like that. They bought up most of the M39s originally I hear. She has been selling them off slowly over the years. I hope I got all that right.

These have become my favorites, that is a sweet one. :Drool1: :thumbsup:

I noticed that about my M39's, all mine looked like that even if the outside of the rifle showed considerable use.
