Very, very nice. I have one of it's relatives living in my basement-SDH

[Craig67]

Just received it today



Stock cartouches:



Receiver marks:



I would have to rate it at excellent+ . There are a few (very few) dings in the stock, look like normal handling marks. A couple of wear spots in the bluing. All serials #'s that I can see match.

I'm real happy with this rifle.

Just picked this one up today.........Another Finn, in the stable.








I wish I could read the barrel shank. .......Where's Claven, when you need him???

[Claven2]

That's a cute little Sessy Bramel You don't often see the splicedstocks where both pieces are from Russian stocks which yours looks to be. I have a soft spot for the Sestroryetsk made M91's.

Here's my first addition for the January thread. Techincally this is a late December purchase, but I've not had time to degrease this rifle and photograph it until the last couple of days
Say hello to my new non-refurb 1941 Sako straight-stocked M39

[BRAMEL]

Claven, that stock looks great......make sure you don't put a big ding in it, when you go to the range. It's not even my gun and the thought of marking up that wood makes me.


Oddly enough, I too also have a Sako coming.

[Claven2]

This is an isued rifle, so there are already a few dings in it, but for an issued M39 it's pretty good. Th receiver and other exposed metal has a pleasant amount of wear on it without being excessive. I really like this M39 - even more than my unissued examples.

Which Sako you got inbound? M39? Straight or PG stock?

I should warn you - if it's the other straight gripped M39 at CS, it's not correct. Probably a post-war refurb that got a leftover straight stock and got re-issued for training or something like that, but hte s/n falls well outside the proper range for an original Straight gripped stock 41 Sako.

Serial should be less than 207000.

It's not quite as nice as yours, pistol grip post war stock.....just your run of the mill 1942 sako, it doesn't look like the metal was refurbished, just dropped into a newer stock.

Only reason I bought it, because I like the way the M39's shoot.....Now I can leave my other one at home and shoot the crap outta the sako.

[Claven2]

Sounds like it'll be a fun little M39

I wonder what happened to CS's remaining inventory of M39's? I notice they were removed from the the website over the last coupla weeks...?

Wonder if they still have any of them in stock?

Just received an un-issued Brazilian 1908 with matching bayonet, sling, and sighting target. Practically perfect! Has the scroll type stock cartouche (not the star of David version), otherwise identical to the one in the South American knowlege base. Still partially in cosmoline.
