By the way - has anyone seen a transitional stock on any of these guns? That is to say the sharp pointed finger joints that were used immediately after the war when they were switching from the rounded joints and had not yet settled on the square finger joints?

Only saw a few round war time and the rest was square post war. To the best of my knowledge, no transitional were in this batch.

Anyone notice the stock on M39-80 before it sold? Not right for a 41 VKT, but it's wearing a nice wartime 42SkY stock with a clear cartouche. That stock by itself would sell for a mint in the US to a guy with a 42 SkY but incorrect stock.

Should I buy that rifle and change stocks!

 
I received my M39 today .It is a1941 receiver.Serial numbers on receiver and bolt match. Receiver has the VTK marking. The tiger stripe stock showing a Sako emblem. Also there is a letter D on the receiver. Does any body know What That Letter Indicates? this is
my first Finnish rifle and I am still learning. Stock has round notch joints. There is also a two digits number by the front sight. I think 71 .I can check tomorrow to be sure.

D means it;s throated so it can shoot WW2 were D166 ammo - which is heavy ball.
 
These guns aren't the same sort of bitsa that certain others are ;)

If the bolts match the receiver, I trust them to have been assembled right.
 
Picked mine up this morning, M39-51.

1941 VKT with HV magazine mod, 2 stage trigger, excellent blueing and an interesting arsenal repair on the butt stock.



It was built on an Sestroryetsk receiver dated 1900.



Thank-you TradeEx.

When you talk 2 stage triggers? Is that the take up then the release?

Sort of. It's not as positive a trigger as, say, on a Mauser 98. But the fins made it so that there is a perceptible "stop" to the trigger when the take up is achieved, then a little more pressure releases the sear. On a regular Mosin, it's just one long trigger pull with a letoff.

I find the Finn 2 stage trigger easier to shoot accurately. There were more triggers made than rifles and some surplus dealers sell these as spare parts. A lot of guys buy them and put them in soviet Mosins to help them shoot better.
 
I tried so hard to resist... but I could not resist any more and I ordered Weimarjack's last B barrel. Oh well. It was a valiant effort on my part.
