    Your roll of the dice paid off. The Finns look nice. If I read your post correct, both rifle was luck of the draw? No hand pick? If thats the case I think you hit a home run...

    Now get em cleaned up and let them bark!!!

      Very nice!

      With that kind of luck - Maybe you should consider play the lottery or go to Vegas!

      Only one problem; Once you shoot them you'll get spoiled and won't to shoot any other Mosin-type rifle.

              Nice Pair!

              It starts with one, then next thing you know... you need a safe just for your mosins. my "small" collection. It started with a $99 Big 5 91/30 (third from left). 5 of the 8 are Finns.

                Not going to happen my friend - don't you know that the Mosin (and any of it's variants) are a gateway drug!

                  I love the Finn M-39's.....Looks like a nice pair you got there.

                  I've been on a bit of a Finn buying spree buying too.....

                  Over the past few months I've acquired a 1968 dated M-39 and two 1970 dated rifles...Also two Finn Tikka m-91'a dated 1944. One on a "hex" receiver, and the other on a round receiver, with it's original arsenal hang tag...

                  Also got a Finn marked Swedish 1923 dated M/96 Mauser rifle which should arrive in a few days.

                  Beautiful rifles

                      Lol, I get that a lot! I scored that early last year, as well as the m91 for $400 for the pair and a bunch of ammo.

                            My M39 will keep the shots in the 10 ring at 100 yards. I reload for mine using a 150gr FMJBT and IMR4064.

                              I got a VKT and Sako from Classic a few months ago and was very pleased with what I got. I even bought a real Finn bayo for each!
