Very nice! Thanks for sharing the story and pics. No problem. Check back ill be posting youtube videos of close up look at the 43 Tikka and also range report and shooting. Just have been so busy last couple days or would have done it sooner. I just transfered 5.67 GB of pics and video from my phone...

Av1 is the state rifle factory if memory serves me. Assembly plant 1 is kinda what it means. :D Some have it some don't Your a wealth of information and thanks for getting back quickly earlier. I was st the gun store hitting refresh every minute like please respond please respond lol. It's been awh...

The B is for belgium barrels. the B M39s were cut from the B barrel M91s. Did it have a AV1 mark on the left side? Sometimes they are hard to see. Hmm not sure either darn I wish I had it in my hands right now. Soon it will be though. What is the AV1 for? For some reason though I think I remember s...

Nice! Too bad about the bolt. Did he say he would give it to you if he found it? B barrels are runnin in the 500 range now so you did pretty good with that even though the bolt is absent. Good deal getting the one you want. A few bucks on these does not make tomuch difference. Is the barrel plum co...

Cool so you must be in my neck of the woods. Just left the gun store and its interesting how things worked out. They only had 3 there. 1 1943 VKT but the stock was pretty banged up and had a chunk missing and the other 2 were SA B marked . I bought the way nicer of the 2 Bs for $375.00. The stock is...

Favorite part of day. Done working and back on my time. Im going to a gun store that was at gunshow on my ride home from work. They have 4 M39 VKTs so I'm going to check each one out and put one on layaway plan for 3 months. The prices seem fair and I rarely wee any MNs at gun shops around here let ...

Yea these are really fun to collect its really addictive and I've always been into military history so its a no brainer and you can shoot them! I was shocked and blown away when I found out I have a receiver from 1899. Well a range session is in order and another close up video and photo session out...

Let's see let's see :pop: :biggrin: Well you have a nice collection that's for sure. And you've been very helpful along with the rest of the guys on here. I'm just putting the Tikka back together now it takes me forever with my ocd and I cleaned the chamber and locking lug area well. I'm going to ha...

I don't have facts like that handy but maybe the finn guys do. I can't even remember what years i have except i have one 1894 chatellerault reciever, and one sestroryetsk that i just found under the 43 tikka i have. They reblued the reciever in arsenal when the ybuilt the rifle. So in 1943 or so. S...

Older then i thought. It is a 1899 Tula reciever. Missed it by that much...from being an antique. Still very nice. And yes it is safe to shoot!! Wow that old!? That's cool. The receiver all in all looks to be in good shape. Seems like maybe they refinished the outter part of the receiver at arsenal...

Gotcha the band's were a little loose. Well here is the tang I can't tell what it is I do see the Tula hammer though. And the trigger and sear are sestro. The trigger has no play in it not use to that LOL.

Is this normal or how these come? Each barrel band has a small screw in front of it. They look to match period and are lined up perfect.

Just take the dog collars off. Then loosen the sling hangers and remove the screw. Slip the hanger thru where the dog collar was and the reinsert on the rifle and put the screw back on. THat way you won't misplace the hangers and they will be with the rifle in case you run into a bunch of $140 doll...

Alralrighty fellas ill be home in 15 minutes and ill post tang info and get her cleaned up and the close up HD video done and post it. Then to the range around 630

A 91/30 sling works fine. Unscrew the finn hangers and run them through. The slots are the same distance apart on the m91 as the 91/30. Ok so the SA sling with the dog collars I bought will work but I have to loose the swivel hangers and put dog collar through stock as normal right? That'll work fo...

Very nice! Hope you didn't find that at the Philadelphia gun show or I'm gonna have to kick myself for not looking closer......... :big shock: Yes sir I did LOL at the greater Philadelphia expo center on Sunday around 3 pm an hour before close. Were you there? It was in hall b in the way back corne...

A finnish sling for the hangers will have a buckle and a button and that is it. If the one you purchased has that then take off the collars and un thread the sling through the buckle and then thread through the bottom hanger thru the buckle again and then thru the top hanger and button together. If...

This is sling I sling SAgot

Use the lemon oil on all of the stocks if you want. I wipe mine down after every range session or when i do a clean and check if they don't get out much. Have fun with it, it will probly shoot excellant. Did you find out the tang date yet? :vcool: :vcool: Going to check it at 4 when I get home from...

:Drool1: :Drool1: :Drool1: :Drool1: :Drool1: Oh man, you got a great deal for that gorgeous M91! :thumbsup: The VKT was an M39 if it had the pistol grip stock. I'm pretty sure it did have a pistol grip but at $349 way past my budget. It's a local gin shop though and they have 2 so I may go see if I...
