Tika M39's

Post by Darryl »

I had an idea that the Tika M39's were very rare to find.

"FINN Model 39 Mosin-Nagant bolt-action rifle # 5151 (7.62x54R) barrel mfg. by Tikka in 1926 on a hex receiver. Excellent-PLUS condition with 99% or better bluing on all metal parts. Bolt-knob stamped 5151 (matching), bore is strong and mirror-bright (has NOT been counterbored at muzzle). Right side of barrel-shank stamped SS78964, which indicates the Pohjois Savonlinna Civil Guard District (a very picturesque castle in Southern Finland). Postwar buttstock (squared finger-joints) has some minor compressions and a knock or two but otherwise looks as-new. Remnants of Finn arsenal tag still attached with wire. Extremely rare, obviously the barrel is from a Model 1891 that was re-configured to the M39 pattern in the mid-1970's. It is amazing to me that this was even attempted, but I have seen very few of these with older barrels. PHOTOS . . . $1750. C&R SOLD"

Always wanted a Tika M39 and probably always will :o

I bought mine for $200 out the door. It was in a gun store and in a box in pieces. The own just bought it from a lady that lost her husband. He had it apart and was going to re-finish the stock on it. He died and I think the local gun store guy didn't give her much for it. She had a few rifles and this was only one she got rid of to him. I happened to walk in just at the right time. He sold it to me 'ASIS" because he didn't want the legal risk of putting it together and selling it. So, I grabbed it up. All the parts were there and I just cleaned it up and put it together. If he had re-finished the stock, he would have ruined it. I think the reason he wanted to re-finish it is because those stocks look like there is no "finish" on them. But, that is how they are supposed to be!
