Look like this??

I wad able to spend most of the day with Bill's friends Kevin and Butch also. Kevin also seems to have a fantastic collection also. I drooled all over his 1897 Finned dragoon that he was selling at the show. I.just couldn't swing it right now. He invited me to check out his collection next time. No...

Pretty sure the phillips screw is a American invention....

I see Liberty Tree has the set of 2 buttplate screws, but shows to be for the 91/30. Would those be correct or did the Finns have a special screw? Definitely more correct than the Phillips head screws in there right now. Also the plate seems narrow for the stock. Again is this normal? Thanks again ...

Well, since the page here has been filled with Zeebill collection guns, I'll add this one that I bought from him yesterday :lol: She's a real beauty, completely all matching numbers except the buttplate and the stock, which appear to be Izhevsk replacement. It is a non-Finn rifle, and the metal fini...

I hope I can run across one someday, i have a nice coffee table in mind!

Nice looking rifle!! I don't have all the answers, I'm sure someone else will add.... The stock does look a bit light, but I have seen a few M39's with a lighter finish, it's all in how the pine tar soaked into the wood. I'm thinking someone may have cleaned it up, and in the process removed some of...

Just joined up over here, and I can say Bill knows his stuff, I have bought a few rifles from Bill and his buddy Kevin, and I guess I'm lucky to say i get to see and buy some of these rifles.
