Price $450 SOLD
Item Description Very good condition. Complete and not altered. Excellent bore and crown. This 7.62x54r rifle represents what many collectors feel is the ultimate production Mosin Nagant design. Using existing receiver, magazine, and bolt parts with new barrels and improved stock ergonomics, the Finns evolved the Mosin Nagant into this apex design. The M39 is one of the most highly prized Finnish Mosin Nagants in collections. They are accurate, well made, and interesting historic WW2 rifles. SAKO produced rifles from 1940-1945. VKT barrel production was from 1940 to 1944. Less than half of the M39s built came from VKT (later VALMET), a little over 30,000, making them less common than SAKOs. This particular rifle is Finnish arsenal blued with about 98% remaining. "Finn matched" bolt and receiver. Receiver is 1898 Izhevsk. The stock is war-time with stock maker and Sako gear cartouches. Still has some dried cosmoline to wipe off. It is solid but has a few arsenal repairs that are common. Original finish. A lot of history. I have shot this rifle at ERGC using only non-corrosive rounds and it is accurate. Comes with correct sling. Ammo for it is still affordable. I include one box of Monarch Heavy Ball. You will be happy with this rifle.
