Posts: 38 (10/09/09 03:25 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Tags : None I just placed an order for a VKT M-39. Price was $239.00. Supposed to be in very good condition. I wanted a Sako, but did not want to spend the extra coin. They also have B barreled M-39s for $299. I picked up a B barreled 91 Finn a few weeks ago, but it did not come with a hand guard. The barrel is counterbored, but looks almost new. go figure. Anyone know where I might find a hand guard for this rifle?

Posts: 2144 (10/11/09 10:28 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I bought one of SOG's B barreled Sako rifles in Aug 08. Liked it a lot but it had some hairline splits in the wood that worried me so I had eb in oregon pin the wood for me; probably not necessary but made me feel better that he'd put his hands to it and approved it. The bore? Just so-so I think but I had little experience with MN rifling (I've been a LE and Swede Mauser shooter) style. Still not sure, even though I now hold a 91/30, a 91 and another M39. Haven't fired any of them due to a left shoulder problem and some laziness. NRA Endowment member LECS #2

The bore was mirror bright and with very pronounced rifling. Overall, a better arsenal refinishing job by the Finns than any of my Russian Mosins. I'm well pleased, AND ... it's an accurate shooter with tight groups.

Posts: 40 (10/13/09 08:51 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I received my rifle from SOG today. It is in great shape and came with a sling. VKT, 1942. Bore is flawless. The bolt does not match. This is the first time I have handled an M-39. I am really impressed. Very well put together. I can't wait to shoot it. What weight bullet tends to shoot point of aim. I was thinking about loading some 150 grain soft points, .308 cal. Guess I will soon see. I am very pleased. Two small dings on the stock. Came with the arsenal tag.

Military Gun Spply had hand guards awhile back but I hear they are out of them now, just keep checking with them and they will likely find some at a later time. The Finn's routinely counterbored rifles with good barrel rifling at times in their history just to make sure they shot right. I have found wonderfull looking bores on rifles with merely a 1/4 inch or less of counterbore just to make sure they shot accurately. It was a common practice of their's to do this. Bill

None had counterbores. Two had hang tags. At the time ordered, SOG charged a separate hand-pick fee for each specification wanted. Example, specific date/manufacturer, hang tag, tiger-striped stock, cartouche, splice type, etc. Regards.

Loading up some sierra 200 grain bt soft points today. could not find any D-166 bullets around here. Going to go with the the lapua load of 40 grains of VV-140 in the M-39. Will let you know how it shoots.
