    Finnish M39 Stock Finish?

    I took possession today of a 1945 Sako M39’s. It’s a beautiful rifle with almost 100% bluing. The only problem is that stock is completely dry. It appears to be sanded, but dry with no finish on the wood. Anyone know what the original finish used was...

    Great couple days at the range...

    So I found myself in the predicament of having 'use or lose leave' so I took a few days off and spent them at the range. Several of my milsurp rifles are newer additions and I haven't taken the time to zero and shoot them, and in the case of my M39's I finally decided to load up some D166 rounds...

    Finnish M39 Stock Finish?

    So here's a couple pictures... As I said before it's a 1945 Sako manufacture and appears to be very lightly used. It's near 100% bluing with only some light frosting at the muzzle. The stock isn't really dry it just lacks the light sheen of the finish on my other M39, or most that I've seen. It...

    Mosin Repro Sniper...

    Well this is interesting... So I went ahead a bought the rifle. It’s a actually a really nice one with a more comfortable grip on the stock than my other one. I was kind of disappointed to to find have far forward I have to push my face to get a good sight picture in the scope. I haven’t gotten...

    Mosin Repro Sniper...

    Have you shimmed the action and corked the barrel? I have a late war Mosin I did this to and was blown away by the improvement to accuracy. It went from 6+ MOA to shooting on par with my 1903a3 and Lee Enfields.

    WTS: Arsenal SLR-106FR

    Selling my 5.56 Arsenal SLR-106FR. Solid rifle and great shooter with the right ammo. Feeds flawlessly. I’ve had it for awhile but haven’t shot it much. I just prefer my AK’s in Russian flavor. Equipped with a Bulgarian flash hider, Polish enhanced magazine catch, and US Palm grip. Internally...

    Mosin Repro Sniper...

    So I'm considering picking up a Mosin faux-sniper for about $600. I'm not a huge fan of the Mosin platform (M39 aside) but I do have one in the safe that turned out to be a pretty good shooter once I shimmed the action and barrel. Seller claims it's a good shooter, but at worst I figure I could...

    Help with my Enfield

    We’re you using boat tail pills? If so try some flat based projectiles first. Some LE’s are sensitive to the boat tail and shoot flat base bullets much better. I’ve never heard of a (non-Ishapore .308) having such a tight bore.

    Help with my Enfield

    Not really... The No1 MkIII’s had unit discs that could help narrow things down, but unless you could get your hands on and wanted to go thru old inventory unit records I don’t know how. Never heard that about the bayonet... The barrels really aren’t that thin. They’re actually significantly...
