!941 Sako Finn M-39, no "D" on barrel?? What does that mean, is it not a D shank?

Is that good or bad from a collect ability and/ or a shoot ability perspective.

And thanks for all your patience, if all my questions start to annoy you, let me know. :) But unfortunately I haven't become addicted enough to pay 250 bucks for "Rifles of the White Death". Not yet anyway :)

I believe all M39s were D chambered from the start.

What Millman said. No need to mark what was known.

Do not pay $250 for Rifles of the White Death. You can buy all 3 Volumes of Palokangas for $50 more. Volume 2 alone is about $150. That's the one with the Finnish Made weapons info. Volume 1 is history. Volume 3 is Finnish used weapons.

Holy Moly, is Rifles of the White Death going for that kind of money? If so, I will have to put mine in the safe....
