Re: Yugo SKS question

What is your opinion on the future price of these rifles? I just traded for a 59/66 SKS in near original condition but now am thinking of getting another.

Re: 1942 SAKO Finnish M39 From Classic

I am by far NOT an expert but I have had many M39's (kinda got hooked on 'em)...anyway: In all the rifles I have seen I have NEVER seen glue like what is on this SAKO. I agree with the 'djbuck1' that this is NOT Finnish work.

Had one done in '06, best thing I ever did for myself. No pain issues after and I walk 2 miles every day. Rehab is a bitch :devil2: :devil2: :devil2: :devil2: but the more you push the knee the faster you get mobility back. Good Luck :vodka2:

Re: The current 'shortage' and the future. Your opinions?

I got "hooked" on Finn's and especially M39's. I have a small but selective Finn group and a few Ruskie's here and there. I see a lot of quality rifles available right now for a "reasonable" price........My point is that todays "reasonable" price will be tomorrows barga...

Personally I NEVER BOUGHT INTO THE IDEA THAT THW\E "2" EQUALED SECOND GRADE ANYTHING. I haven't a clue what it means but one of the most accurate M39's I have had in my hands has the "2" and believe me its a dead nuts shooter. I sold it to another collector who wanted a "sho...
