NAA said:
NAA, its a 1945 Ithaca with a RemRan slide. HS barrel with good bore. Nice and tight, quite happy. Only issue is the disconnector is a little worn off the top. Easy fix.

*drool* mmmmm, they're like cousins.....Itha-Rands
Nice!
Oh yeah baby! I scored! I paid WAY TOO MUCH, but I FINALLY secured a matching non-refurb 1941 Sako M39 with a stright stock and burled wood!!!
These are the sellers pics. They don't do the rifle justince I think. Better pics to follow when she arrives
Non-import marked. Bore is somewhat worn, but lots of rifling left, shiny and not pitted Rifle has definitely served in the Winter War and beyond.
Check out that beautiful birsh burl... after a gentle cleaning and some light oiling to put some moisture back into the stock she's going to look AMAZING

It's a November purchase but the Sportowy finally arrived. She's from 1955, serial number S66XX on both slide and frame, nice little oval 11 marking on slide, and 10 of those little adapters for the .22 rounds. Will try it out soon and see how she shoots.

newest Dec buy
Hmm... turning out to be a busy December after all. I thought I'd cool my jets this month, but with all the people hard up for Christmas cash, I ran into some deals I couldn't say no to.
In the last 2 days I've arranged purchase of a Finn capture 1941 M91/30 Izhevsk, matching and non-refurb for a fair price. Also a "mystery" M24 which I suspect is a Bohler Stahl that will compliment my SIG. Frankly I don't care what it is. The owner had it listed as a Generic Russian Mosin at an un-freakin'-believable price so I bought it on "spec". Thanks to Geoff/Victoria for putting me onto it Pics look good, definitely a matching M24, but no pic of the maker's marking area... should be like christmas morning when it arrives and I get to see what it is.
