    I Went to the Auction Again Last Night (UPDATED)

    Last night (Friday) I went to the same estate auction sale place where I got a Garand and an Arisaka two weeks ago. They had an Underwood M1 Carbine http://www.estatesalesunlimited.com/...016/11/600.jpg that sold for $560 with the buyer's premium. I didn't bid on it.

    I was interested in only one firearm. a Finnish M39 http://www.estatesalesunlimited.com/...016/11/605.jpg

    I won it for $308 with the buyer's premium. It came with a Finnish leather sling that sells for $20-30 online, so I figure I got the rifle for $288 and the sling for $20. It's similar to the Sako M39's that Classic Firearms is selling for $400.





    It has a "transitional" postwar stock with triangular joints.








    The bore was dirty but it cleaned up nicely and it is now very bright.

    Revolvers are not pistols

    pistol nouna handgun whose chamber is integral with the barrel
    Calling a revolver a "pistol" is like calling a magazine a "clip", calling a shotgun a rifle, or a calling a man a woman.

              Are you sure that was made in 1944?

                      It's been through at least one postwar arsenal refurbishment. That's why it has the new stock.

                      It has a reinforcement of the butt of the stock that was begun in 1956 (pictures from http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinM39.htm)




                      and then the stocks changed to square joints in the 1960's



                      So this rifle was last rebuilt in the late 1950's-early 1960's.

                                          That particular one has been reurbished- it was reblued and given a new stock before it left Finland.

                                          But yes, it was really made in 1944.

                                                          I was wondering when someone would notice that.

                                                          I had other shots from that angle but I intentionally used that one.
