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.

Very nice, I think all the later date M39's were low production.

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.

Were they made, that late, for the military or for the consumer?
