Finnish M39 Value Questions *Now with pics!*

Bayo is a repro. $400 gun right there. $420 if some wants to pay for the civil guard receiver and cleanliness.

Even the repros aren't cheap. Whole package would go at least $450.

I'm excluding the bayo in my estimate. Those are $50-$100 on their own last I checked? Gunboards search would probably give you the going rate. $450 for the rifle alone is a little high as there are a bunch of post war VKTs floating around from Classic/SOG, but that's what my starting ask would be (will be once I get around to listing mine).

There are *some* reproduction M39 bayos that are bringing $150 or so... this isn't one of them

The blued ones like this were made in India and really poor quality IMO, so as long as you disclose it is a repro (as you have) then I figure it would sell for $75 on it's own, just for someone who wants one but doesn't want to pay tree-fitty for a real one.

IIRC the good repros were commissioned by Doug Bowser, the "RIfles Of The White Death" guy. Dennis Kroh sold a few of them some years ago... I wish I would have bought one of them.
