"7: History. You may wind up with a Russian or a Finn rifle built" The Finnish built will cost a bit more, but are really nice: m39

Should have “SA” in a box on the metal somewhere if a Finn.

SA = property of finnish army

The muzzle flash from the carbines makes the ownership experience worth every penny.

The American gun press really unfairly disdained the foreign milsurp rifles for a long time. I’ve had great results from Enfields, Mausers, even Carcanos-my experience with the Carcano tells me that Oswald could have made that shot. Mosins have knocked down plenty of moose in Finland.I do like my Mosins.

The pistols though-OK, it is a 7 shooter but the trigger pull is something like 13lbs. And even though “they” say you can use .32 H&R magnums in them, the cases swell rather ominously.

It does.

Humblegunner or another freeper brought that to my attention.

Loads of history in a gun that age.

Sounds like yours is a capture from the russkies in the original stock?

That’s some good training there. Reading the title, I was expecting one of those joke videos where they have the kid shoot it and he falls over.

What’s fun is that the m39 like I posted are built on antique receivers. Though dated 1944 on top, the original date on the tang is actually an 1896 Tula hex receiver.

Original but repaired stock.

It looks like flame grain except for the repair.

Oh it’s led a rough life, but its still very nice and very well repaired

Fun to shoot. The carbines hammer the shoulder, though!
