I've wanted a Finnish M39 Mosin Nagant rifle for quite a while. The waiting paid off, as yesterday I obtained one of the nicest examples of an M39 I've ever seen.
It's a 1942 VKT with the "B" Belgian barrel. There's no way it was ever issued. The bluing is 100% and the bore is mirror-bright with razor sharp rifling. It was $459 out the door after NY sales tax
Pictures soon

That sounds like a nice find! My girlfriend's brother has a nagant, but it's beat to hell. I've seen ones at shows for ~$150 but none of them are in great condition.

I compete in vintage rifle matches at one of the local gun clubs. I usually shoot one of my Russian Mosin Nagant rifles. Some of the other competitors own the Finnish Mosin Model 39 like the one you bought and they tell me the Finn-Mo is much more accurate and superior in every way. They definitely are sharp looking rifles.
Congratulations on your new purchase!

Sorry for the wait! I wanted to take it to the range and get some good outdoor pictures but the weather took a turn for the worse. I'll try to take some inside tonight

Nice find. I got a not-as-nice example in a trade but these Finnish rifles really outperform the Soviet ones in every category.
The sights are incredible...big, chunky, and very easy to use.

Gee thanks. After reading about your Finn Mo, I had to have one. I bought a M39 to keep both of my Mosin Nagants company in the gun safe.

They look so much better than there Russian counter parts. What does the writing on the targets say?Originally Posted by 7 RING

Weather conditions, date, sight setting, hold, range of 50M, group size of 7/8"W x 1-1/4"H, Russian ball.
If I could see as well as I did 35 years ago, I believe the rifle would shoot better groups.
