Finnish M39 impulse buy

Post by Kzman »

Ok, so although I've been collecting Russian MN's for seventeen years, I am still quite unlearned about the Finnish models. A small local gun shop lured me in with "Polish M44" on the marquee. What was inside was a rather nice Polish all matching M44 (except for the buttplate) with a bolt like glass! Then he hands me a Finnish Mosin. I wasn't even sure of the model but I could tell it was matching with a nice bore and really cool stock with a SAKO stamp. Sooooo.....I walk out with both the Ploish M44 and 1942 Finn M39 for $600 plus tax. Good impulse buy? Or bad impulse buy?

I have no idea what you paid, but it doesn't matter, nice rifles, good impulse buy :)

I think you committed highway robbery. You made a very good deal on two nice rifles. Congratulations.

It appears that you like me ought to follow your impulses! Great buy and yes Dolk like me will be drooling at that M39 stock. That is a great buy on both of them for $600 and I would have burned my hand on the wallet getting the money out or maybe in this case I would have been reaching for the card instead. I have been buying way too much here as of late including something that cost a bunch and I always said I would not buy. So in the future I will be eating my favorite meal so it seems CROW! Oh well its all in the game I guess. Congrats and enjoy! Bill :wink:

Nice pair and excellent deal. Me thinks just the M-39 could fetch the $600 at auction. Wish I had some shops around... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I would agree, the Model 39 was almost worth entering into a deal by itself, my best buy's on some of the best examples I have are often found and obtained on impulse buy's, that said it's usually when I'm broke so I buy then figure out how to pay for it all later. The model 39 is an exceptional example and would be a lifetime keeper, one criteria I use for determining whether to go for it on an impulse buy, is it a lifetime keeper?

I wish I could find a deal like that. I looked at a M39 several weeks ago, big chain gun store....$500.00 just for it. I paid $240.00 f/my M44. So, impulse buy, no smart buy...,.and I am jealous.
