Now that is a great looking Finn rifle that shoots great too! Congrats on a great buy and great looking rifle. People wonder why I am so set on Finns? Just one look and one trip to the range and you realize real quick you are in a different brand of Mosins! Finn's rule the range and looks for me too! Bill

That's the most contrasting tiger stripe stock I think I've ever seen! Gorgeous!
I've got a couple nice tiger stripe stocks (not this good!!!) but they're a bit dirty and have a few dings and a dark petina - generally speaking. Did your rifle come like this or is there a secret about how to bring out the beauty under the grime? Light surface cleaning with clenzoil and lemon oil are the only thing I do to my stocks - is there a better way to correctly preserve them and still bring out some contrast? I know the rules around here and actually like a nice petina, but maybe there's a better way to clean my furniture. It's worth asking.

Wow, that rifle is absolutely gorgeous. I've been trying to find one like that for ages!

......................I've never ever even heard of one like this let alone seen one. VERY unusual stock.

Sweet M39 Good shooting too. I like to build up the sight with a piece of insulation rather than hold off.

I keep telling myself, no more M-39's and for the most part I have been able to do that. But if one of these tiger stripes came up, I'd be all over it. Problem is, so would everyone else.

Welcome to the board

[buckhunter252]

how much would one of these go for?

[etprescottazusa91]

My word that is one beautiful rifle, about the nicest I have seen. I thought I had a decent looking Model 39 compared to that rifle mine is pretty homely.

[akguy1985]

That is one of the most beautiful M39 stocks i've ever seen.

[TulaTom]

Jaw dropping stock. I thought Dolk had cornered the market on those. Just beautiful!

[TopperT]

PRICE? VALUE?........I would think if one like this EVER showed up it would sell far north of what I would have available at the time .........I too have said NO MORE M39's but if this OR a Tikka were to present themselves......oh crap would I ever be in trouble.... .

[zeebill]

Wow. That's a great looking Finn!

But, how did that rifle escape from dolk's clutches?

Simple......Money!

You can't own them all....I know....I tried!



That is a beautiful rifle!

Dolk

No No that is possible! Now if I can just get that groundhog out of the hole again I will eat tonight! Bil


PS That rifle is one great looking and shooting M39!

[Joeinthehills]

That is some OUTSTANDING wood!

@ P.I. in the mid '60's w/ the M14 on the Able Course of 200 offhand, 300 kneeling and sitting, and 500 prone yard lines we always used the 6 0clock sight picture, which was SOP.

Then in the late '60's I got used to the Redfield 3x9 Accudrop 18" crosshairs on the Remmy 700, wow what technology did

Isn't it funny that this thread has taken off again, even though the tiger stripe in this thread was started in July 2012, 16 months ago. The only one missing is the original poster.

[vegaome]

Nice rifle and a shooter to boot. OP when your ready to part with it I will trade you a nice prewar banjo.

I shot him with my new "ray gun" and took his M39. ............
