Collected a new-to-me M39 recently to round out the -39 corner of my collection for the time being.
It's a 1968 stamped barrel with a post war stock, in good condition overall with a very good bore and a pleasant trigger pull weight.
I took it out to the range today to see how it could do, and was totally surprised, range was 100 yards for all:
With Czech silver tip (pardon the rimfire pattern):
I had never tried the 203 gr soft points by MFS until today, but I have a feeling that I'll be shooting them much more often. They shoot to a totally different POI, but snuggle up well- in the upper left corner:
I'll have to verify the consistency of this flavor of ammo, but if it can do this repeatably, I'll be very pleased.
Taking a look at the stock, the barrel has been very well free floated:
