Very cool. Has someone received a delivery from Liberty Tree today?
Re: A pair of Finn M39 accessories
Actually, both were from eBay. The squared one I picked up years ago for $5 delivered, when no one knew what they were.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: A pair of Finn M39 accessories
Are these the blank fire device for the m39?
Re: A pair of Finn M39 accessories
Yep

Re: Vs: A pair of Finn M39 accessories
Bit of nitpicking and useless semantics. But those are actually for not "blanks" but wooden bullet catridges (puuluoti). Well, of course those are blanks too but actual blanks in the Finnish Army were with "wax bullets" (called räkäpää/snot head) that did not need those "bullet smashers".

Re: A pair of Finn M39 accessories
Now what would 'bullet smashers' be in Finnish?

Re: A pair of Finn M39 accessories
So you are saying you would be ok being shot with a wax bullet? Because I am thinking a smasher would be better than no smasher.
Re: A pair of Finn M39 accessories
Well, I don't know about that.
But smashers are all post war, pre war they shot "snot heads". Without any smashers. But I should think pre war they shot mostly "cheek shots" i.e. shouted "laukaus" "sarrrrja"!

Re: A pair of Finn M39 accessories
Pretty neat. I was watching that on Ebay and thought it was interesting.
