Re: Damaged bullet casing

If my life depended on it and I had to shoot, maybe, if I didn't have anything else.

But I wouldn't shoot ordnance that looked like that, you have no idea if the primer or powder is good.

Re: Finnish M-39, Sk.Y, what is fair market value

Well if nothing else, my astonishment at prices has started a cool discussion :) I learned a thing or two.

I am working on a couple below $500 bucks.

Re: Finnish M-39, Sk.Y, what is fair market value

almost 900 for a real nice SAKO (not a Sk.Y) . Nice Tiger Sako correct stock. Very nice shape. Nice gun but again too much for me.

Re: To our California members

Drive over the state line to an airport, rent a car with out of state plates, then go to the show, wear a hat, or T shirt with " I love Texas" or something on it. Maybe even rent a motel room for the night a good distance from the show. Reminds me of Clinton era BATFE agents entrapping pe...

Re: Finnish M-39, Sk.Y, what is fair market value

I think I am going to re-adjust my search for a Sk.Y, one just went for over a $1000.00 To much for my budget. There had to be something special or bidders were drunk. I got them in the last year $400 flame stock mismatched floorplate and $360 all matching stamped receiver number no dot matrix both...

Re: Finnish Mosin book?

Apparently he just went in the hospital with Heart Issues :(

I sent him a message at Facebook about a week ago, and was going to follow up. I found his homepage again and was about to re-message when I saw his status.

I think Ill just leave him be for a while.

!941 Finn M-39, no "D" on barrel??

!941 Sako Finn M-39, no "D" on barrel?? What does that mean, is it not a D shank? Is that good or bad from a collect ability and/ or a shoot ability perspective. And thanks for all your patience, if all my questions start to annoy you, let me know. :) But unfortunately I haven't become add...

Finnish M-39, Sk.Y, what is fair market value

OK so I kind of have my sights set on one the the Sk.Y M-39's.

I was wondering what the various opinions are on fair market value?

What adds to it or detracts from.

I have found a few threads here and there but not anything current, so looking for some opinions.

Thanks! :D

From the picture, it looks a lot like the Parkerizing on my Garand. Hence the question to begin with

Finnish M-39, were any Parkerized?

Did the Finns do any Parkerizing? I am looking at a weapon locally but it looks like parkerizing, not blueing. I got a feeling that was done after import but I was wondering.

Also Parkerized M=39 assuming the Finns did not do that would also affect the collect-ability, correct?

Thanks!
