Can you even see that? The link looks like a google storage location, but I can't see anything on a new mac laptop running the latest Safari.

I can see it no problem i can forward you the image if you would like

Don't bother. Ppl should use something that works universally. I like photobucket myself.

 

[Wormald1995]

Works fine for me on google crome.

 

[BillD]

Can't see it either

 

[Claven2]

I think you have to be a chrome user to see it. Chrome sucks so I will live without pics of no.20.

Congrats, you have a post-1893 Chatellerault receiver, likely from around 1894. There was a short period between wen they eliminated the grease hole and some the in 1895 when Chatellerault started putting the dates on the tang.

Thanks for the info on that.
Interesting bit of history about the French rifles.

I"m not sure what receiver I have?
Top of rear tang looks like a U in a circle. Russia and USSR Proof ?
Underside of rear tang looks like something was there but faint and can't make it out?
Underside of front receiver near lug there is a 9 in a circle and a seperate 5
Right side of trigger frame it looks like a thin J and a seperate 3
That is all I have ?

That's a 1901 Izhevsk (arrow in a bow) receiver. Post 1928 it was changed to an arrow in a triangle.

Pretty happy with my new baby, I'll call her Riika.
Looks like she has been thru hell n back but still gorgeous
N what a nice trigger!
Thanks again Tradex!

Did some reading and the Finn's probably ground off my date during the build?
I assuming the tang was rusted or damaged so to make it work . just beltsand
Either way these guns were hand fitted when built...

Is it healthy to name your firearms!!!!!!!!

So basically this is a really fancy Garbage stick?

So basically you're a very poor troll?

 

[Claven2]

Garbage sticks that sold out in record time...? I doubt it.

HAHAHA That's funny.
Check out what my garbage stick shot at 100m a couple days ago. This is my best target to date. Typically at 100m I'm shooting a 1 1/2"-2" group.


Mine came from Weymajack. But he got them from Tradex. It came from the same batch of M39's.

The bolt on my M39 was a little stiff and notchy feeling when I first got it. The first stage on the trigger was a little rough too. With a little use, the trigger is smooth and light now. The bolt is very smooth too.
The gun as a whole feels like a top notch gunsmith gave it a very thorough go over.
Very pleased with my purchase.

Guys please post your targets and your M39's. It will make this thread nice to read through.
