OUch! Price really getting up there
Well the last b barrel sold over the weekend. Only sneak rifles and vkt's remain. With this import the no maker rifles will actually be common in Canada as a percentage of m39's we have here. In the dates they are considered really rare.
None of the rifles left are tempting me. All I really want still is a B, a non-refurb SkY and a mid-war pistol grip sako non-refurb, none of which are on the table at present
Keeping it real on the range since before there was a CGN.
The no maker are not that common, I counted 17 (ten 68 and seven 67) out of well over 100 M39 available.Well the last b barrel sold over the weekend. Only sneak rifles and vkt's remain.

Production of the no maker/ no name is less than 5% of the total production of M39's while the B barrel is higher.

I'm pretty sure there were more than that at the onset, but still, that is a lot of no maker rifles. If I didn't already have a sweet 1968, I'd buy one.

Unless Jacques unveils some no dates (to my knowledge, he didn't post any as of yet), they were only 17 listed on Tradex page and out of these, 5 are/were showing blemishes.

Has anyone seen the minor pitting on the remaining rifles?
Deal breaker? Looks like W has removed # 85 I was watching it and #29
All be gone soon..
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.

I'm assuming they mean blued over pitting - which is normal on a Finn as they used salvaged parts much of the time. If it had old pits, but was serviceable, it was used anyhow.

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?
