M39 fin sako or sky worth it or not?

[Pureform]

1944 m39 not sure if its sako or sky from the marking... asking.399 plus tax... yey or ney...

In the ballpark for the type, maybe $30 overprice, hard to say with no pics or other information.

Definitely a yey on getting a M39, so whether this one or a different one, if you like to shoot you will love the M39. If you can get some pictures we will be happy to look at em. I bought my one and only M39, a 1941 VKT, from a shop in California, and I am in Texas, and spent 300 plus 45 shipping including a Plano hard case. But that was several years ago. 400.00 is a common price for Sako, or more sometimes, but we still see the occasional cheaper great deal too.

One rifle left on the list, a list that would hold 30+ rifles daily back a few years, plus antiques, and Soviet Mosins. I suggest getting while the getting is good even if you have to pay a little more, it's local, you can go pick it up in person.

I got my '41 Sako from them a few weeks ago for $369 and am quite happy with it. The ones they have on that list were just posted yesterday morning, so they move really quick. I expect they'll have another 10 or so posted up in the next day or so.

I say it is close. If it is an SKy then really close. I would hate to tell you what I paid for my 3. But then I would be outdone by others here too. I am glad I got mine when I did.

[bunkysdad]

He sent me a link and it is not a SKy but it is a nice looking 44 wartime stock Sako.

Now I don't know if it's worth me buying it or not... my answer from bunky and junyard was like ehhh it's ok...doesn't sound like an exciting deal that if I have patience I can find better...

Personally I have no problem paying up to 400 dollars for a good M39 and will be doing so sometime around Friday morning from Pat Burns outfit http://www.gunsnammo.com Don't get me wrong, Ill happily pay less but will gladly pay what the going rate is for such a specimen.

You do not have a FFL, are there a great many M39's available in shops around you? This could well be your only shot at buying a M39 that you can hold before you pay for it, these rifles are both climbing in price and decreasing in availability. I suggested buying it, I said I would have if it walked in my door. Is it the most special of M39's around, no, it's average, but it's a good solid wartime M39 and may be your only shot at one. Every single one of mine is a superior shooter.

[ckkone]

Yeah if its nice I wouldn't have a problem paying $400, I think that iraqverteran8888 youtube video has turned many new people onto the M39.

[Pureform]

stock had gouges in couple places... Doesn't look good like in the pictures... he wanted $428 plus $5 background check and wouldn't budge... He also has from Marshalls mausers mosin sniper asking $950 and wouldn't budge... I don't deal with LGS like that they are crooks so I left...

[Junk Yard Dog]

Stay away from that sniper, it's sounds like a Mitchells Mauser's fake. War used rifles will have things like worn blue and stock dings, all normal things on a millsurp.

[desdem12]

RUN FROM THE MITCHELLS CRAPOLA. Bunch of lying bullshiters and fake (cant say artists). Every last one of their rifles Is a faked up fake of a fake faked faker of a fake rifle. NEVER BUY A MITCHELL. (just my opinion your, experience may differ, void where prohibited)

[Longcolt44]

Awwww, comon Des, tell the new members how you really feel.

[TopperT]

A "Fair" M39 is a good rifle. A "Great" M39 is a fantastic rifle, and an "Excellent" M39 is the single best shooting rifle of the WW II era IMHO........ (and many others in fact). They are THAT good.

People who have prices that high or sell Mitchell's products of any kind are not on my Christmas list! Bill
