A Finnish M39 just showed up....

[hawk81]

Did you get your rifle from SOG?

[HskrVern]

Sweet! What ammo was that with?

It was with some stuff that Big 5 had on sale, the white box Tula ammo.

Did you get your rifle from SOG?

I got it from gunsnammo.com they just listed a lot of new stuff here recently.

[Rem222]

HskrVern .... Very nice group there. You have a keeper....

[flying2275]

At my door. To call a Finnish M39 a mosin is an insult, the dang thing is a Finnish mauser!

It's funny you say that. I've got a 1941 Sako with an old import mark on the end of the barrel stamped "98/22 8mm C.A.I Georgia VT".

Evidently at one time the folks at Century thought the M39 was a Mauser!

[vincentvangerven]

nice grouping! and yes, they can be a bit picky if it comes to ammo; my 41 vkt loves m30 heavy ball, my other 42 vkt however doesn't like it but shoots geat with bulgarian light ball.

that's a potentially dangerous mistake

[pullnshoot25]

It wouldn't chamber anyways... would it?

[flying2275]

Probably why they always say to have the gun checked out by a competent gunsmith before firing.

i fired my 1944 Sako M39 for the first time using winchester ammo it shot cloverleafs at 100yrds the jarheads next to me were amazed they were shooting a M4 w/a Eotech red dot and not doing so welli had to rub it in a little by saying my shooting wasn't bad for an old dogface w/ an old rifle who had'nt shot a rifle for a year or so

[MongooseV8]

Yes these M39's suprise a lot of other shooters

So I cant help but notice you still havent shown us a picture of your rifle

Move the target back beyond 500 yards, you will still have the upper hand with the M39, especially with a breeze blowing across the range.

[34thmongolianhorde]

i wish i could find local range that had a range longer than 100yrds. i don't like to post pictures of my weapons this is the PRK and you don't know who is watching us thats also why i don't brag about what weapons i do have w/me here in the PRK . the weapons i have in storage back in N.C. and in ALA. would make the pantie waists crap in thier panties.
