hey everyone I have an M39 that is shooting to the right of POA at all distances. Looking at group placement on targets at 100m I'm gonna say she is about 2.0-2.5 MOA off. Does anyone have any advice for adjusting the front sight to remedy this situation i.e. do's and dont's tips for getting it righ...

Thats a great hit at 200m. I recommend reloading. I have reloaded with 174gn Sierra match kings in .311 for my 41' Sako M39 with rather good results at 100m. Pretty darn good for an 80 year old rifle with a well used Bore

That is a beautiful collection. Do you shoot any of them?

If I keep looking at these I will end up parting with more cash, using space in my safe I dont have...

They look amazing everyone. Beautiful examples of a timeless rifle!

I found the same the thing in that the M39 I have does indeed shoot high at 100m. I was trying out some handloads just the other day and found it easier to test it at 200m than 100m. At 100m I was aiming at the base of a 1ft target to get bullets landing in the Bulls eye/ 9&10 rings. So a signif...

That is a beautiful M39. Great find!

7x57 they are absolutely beautiful. Those blonde ones with the matching bayonets are sublime :Drool1: The one i'm looking at is at a shop interstate. So im relying on pictures being sent through to me...They are advertising as "Hungarian 02 markings" but Im asking for some better pictures....

Im using 180gn Seĺlier and bellot in FMJ and its going quite high so its must bd a common trait in thd calibre/rifle. A couple of weeks back I managed to get on to a 12inch target at 380 meters. The target was of a brush turkey silouhette. My site was set at about 275m (3/4 between 200-300 on the si...

Awesome pics

Its interesting you say that yours shoots high at 200yds as I have found the same with mine.

Cleanneon98, what sort of ammo are you using?

haha...yeh mate it's not my preference to intentionally cut short expansion plans for my collection but requirements on safe storage and paper work required prior to purchasing over here means any purchase comes with a real opportunity cost and investment. I might unload a crappy little .22LR i have...

Thanks guys, i appreciate the advice about these. I have already met my quota for additional rifles this year(a recent purchase of an M38 swede Mauser did that) but I'm tempted as I'm loving the 7.62x54R calibre in my '41 Sako M39 and figured one more in this calibre would go great Too many guns to ...

Hey everyone I was wondering if anyone could provide some experience in the quality of the Hungarian made M91/30? I have seen one advertised and was tempted to pick it up. They are claiming 'unissued condition' but wanted to see what they are like quality wise compared to others and if anyone had fi...

Not quite. Pump and semi auto (rifles and shotguns) are effectively restricted to farmers and professional pest controllers, the rest are okay...handguns are obtainable but strictly managed.

I just really like the old rifles

Thanks for the advice everyone. I will be purchasing in bulk sellier and bellot 180g FMJ to shoot with my '41 M39 and will have a heap of once fired, fire-formed brass after that so i thought I would get into reloading as a hobby and hopefully improve accuracy from this beautiful rifle. I will have ...

Hey everyone

I am about to start buying sellier and bellot 7.62x54R factory ammo and was wondering if anyone of the more experienced hands on here had any experience reloading sellier and bellot brass; good, bad or otherwise.

Cheers in advance

Thanks bunky. Are there stripper clips for the M39? Do they take standard mosin strip clips?

Picked it up from my local dealer the other day...looks as good as the pics. Just need to find the ammo and sight her in

SBY, thanks for the advice of lemon oil. Is that something you find in your local grocery store or a hardware store. I'm thinking I want to get the tools to disassemble and clean thoroughly so I will look at that closely when I get the rifle, but not looking to jump into that too quickly. Attached b...

Thanks for the advice everyone and I hand picked it myself...no charge for picking a beaten up junker. I had a good look at the bore, the action felt great and looked pretty good considering the age. JYD thanks for the heads up about the windage arm. It will go a long way. I'm planning on shooting i...

Hi everyone I'm about to take delivery of my first M39, 1941 Sako. I have wanted one ever since i read about them about a year ago in a review (cant remember the publication). I watched various vids on YouTube seeing how well they shoot and following various threads on this forum hearing very little...
