Mosin M39

[dlbleak]

picked this up from jakerz here on the forum. Took this beauty to a MBA match and got into the 90's without ever firing it beforehand.



it's capable of much better if i would do my part!

very cool! 90's off the bat? Dude you're killing me!

Love the finish on the stock, very nice. counter-bored? I'm guessing no with that kind of accuracy.

 

[dlbleak]

thanks,the hold point was less than optimal to say the least. with a little zeroing, i think it can do mid 90's all day with surplus ammo. i'll work a load up and lob em in in the future.

love those stocks. mine was butchered by a previous owner, but the rifle still shoots well.

That's M39 Finn, built up on a Mosin action and altered stock by Saeco arms of Finland.

Good looking rifle too.

...and altered stock by Saeco arms of Finland

The SAKO gear cartouche was applied to the stocks of all SAKO produced M39's before they left the Suojeluskuntain Ase ja Konepaja Oy factory...it is just a proof mark and not any sort of marking that represents that the stock was modified. M39 stocks were newly built and not altered by the Finns like the M91 and M91/30 stocks were.


Darren,

Have you had her out of the stock to check out the tang date and maker? I guessing the stock has rounded finger joints right? She's a beauty!

Beautiful gun, you always have luck when it's snagging cool stuff.

Nice lookin gun. And it shoots. You got a deal.

All of my M39's shoot great. You have a nice one there too.

I think the M39 is in the upper echelon of accuracy as far as milsurps go. The difference between a Russian MN and a Finn M39 is night and day.
