1941 Sako M39 recent local find
I was fortunate to find this Sako on a Facebook local gun group a couple months ago. It was being sold by the son of a elderly collector who bought it about 20 years ago and locked it away in his safe. It is a obvious post-war Finn refurb with a replacement post war stock with square finger joints. Every bit of the metal is as close to 100% blued condition as I have ever seen, including the cleaning rod and beneath the wood line. Almost a antique, the receiver was made in 1899. There is a very discreet import mark by Auto Ord? I don't remember seeing this before.

Nice find, Auto-Ord is from the early 90's, notice they applied the serial number to the top of the receiver, Century stuck it on the side.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Oh man, Red, you busted me. Not only was I seeing if you would notice, but I can't figure out how to say that PL word.
Re: 1941 Sako M39 recent local find
Yeah saying it is almost as hard as spelling it.

Heck of a nice find & congrats on the great addition to your collection!redspoon wrote:Very nice BD Is that a PL mark I see on there?

Oops, I said it was imported by Auto Ordnance. I must have been thinking about a new Thompson. I meant Inter Ordnance!

Beautiful! Still on the lookout for one of these....
