When it rains it pours. This is the 2nd of three Finn capture Tulas I've brought home recently. I dropped by a local shop that mostly deals in black rifles etc and this rifle and an m44 stuck out. I gladly paid their asking price and hurried out before they changed their mind. (Refurb price give or take a little)

1939 Tula, Has that hard to find poulustislaitos stamp that's so hard to find since it was only used for a few months. Tula stock dated 38 or 39, no matching numbers. Well used but servicible bore. SA marked but no D mark. The tractor belt sling I added, it looks right at home on this one.

My gosh.. That is one of my holy Grail rifles. That's a beautiful rifle.

I'm really digging this rifle!

It looks like something I should have in my collection, especially since your wood pile looks like my wood pile. ;)

Nice find Dave , PL marked rifles are a special kind of cool.

Very nice rifle and your right, that tractor belt sling is perfect on it.

Wow thats killer. Next time Im in PA I'm gotta snoop around some more!

Awesome rifle, don't get much better congrats. I believe that's the first I've seen with the PL stamp so high on the shank.

Mighty fine All the '39 Tula I've had were super shooters...very close to M 39's. I wonder if Stalin ordered, this year, all Mosins are to be made with extra precision. He saw what was about to happen.

I think you did great on this one. It was a good thing you stopped in and rescued it from all of the "assault rifles"

This PL "Field Stamped" version is much more uncommon than the "rolled" PL stamps as found on some of the early 1941 SAKO M39s. Great find.

Very cool!!! I picked up one of these about six months ago but paid a tad more than refurb price. Congrats! You have all the luck. I would have jumped all over that one too.

Some guys have all the luck Congrats.

"Luck" is an engineered condition controlled by the situation you put yourself in and the effort you put forth and the control of your priorities. Great Job Racer! Bill

Beautiful!
