1941 Sako M39 recent local find

Post by bunkysdad »

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.ImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

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.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

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. :)

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

Beautiful! Still on the lookout for one of these....
Alexander Hamilton, Federalist Papers #29: ...if circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little, if at all, inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their own rights and those of their fellow-citizens.
