MJ,

that rifle has an out of stock look! Sometimes Santa is a friendly old guy.

It's sharp looking.



I read something once about the D on the barrel but I can't remember what it means now.

Nice rifle. I'm looking for a M39 shooter myself.

As for the D on the barrel shank, it refers to the barrel throat opened for Finnish D166 cartridge.

There's info on Finnish MNs at: 7.62x54r.net

Nice rifle, I got an M39 for Christmas too, yours is in better shape overall (mine's on a Tula 1986 receiver) but mine shoots like a dream, hope you find the same of yours.

MJ1,

Break her down and look under the rear tang, might have a manufacturer mark and a date. Still has an imperial eagle, could be an antique receiver.
