[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2834342, member: 13284"] Nice rifle...it could be my '42 VKT's twin. Much better than the first batch that came from Classic. I'm assuming that by "with the eagle" you are referring to the imperial eagle crest still being intact on the receiver. It seems to be much more common for VKT's to still retain their imperial eagles than with the other M39 manufacturers. BTW...the crud gumming up the action is typical Finnish preservative grease. If it's a rifle that you plan to shoot, field strip her and give everything (but the wood) a good bath in mineral spirits while hitting all the nooks and crannies with a stiff nylon brush. If it's a rifle that you plan to set aside as a part of your collection, go ahead and leave the grease in place. It seems the hardcore collectors prefer them that way. Do you have a MN bolt tool for disassembling the bolt and for checking firing pin protrusion after you have cleaned and reassembled it? [/QUOTE]
