I just passed on two long M95's with bayo, one without and a carbine. Not really my thing, but I can see why some ppl like them alot

ll got this month is a pretty Turk 38 and a SKS. Last month is a different story. Sorry for no pics. I have to spend more time with the process, I'm just too stupid to get it (maybe too old)-SDH

Oh yeah baby! I scored! I paid WAY TOO MUCH, but I FINALLY secured a matching non-refurb 1941 Sako M39 with a stright stock and burled wood!!!
These are the sellers pics. They don't do the rifle justince I think. Better pics to follow when she arrives
Non-import marked. Bore is somewhat worn, but lots of rifling left, shiny and not pitted Rifle has definitely served in the Winter War and beyond.



Check out that beautiful birsh burl... after

Oh! that's real nice looking. Where did you manage to snag that? I can see only one slight imperfection..................It's not hanging on my rack.

I should enlist you to find me a minty M27.

I got it at Collector's source. I knew about their having a few more expensive "select" M39's for quite a while but it took a fair bit to talk myslf into paying the asking price They have one more staight stocked Sako like this one, but the wood isn't nearly as pretty, though overall the rifle might be in slightly better condition.

CS separated all the B-barrel, SkY, Puolustuslaitos marked, or 41 Sako straight stocked rifles out of their run of the mill M39's back when they brought them in. The select examples are individually listed on their website and were priced almost double the regular ones

I've got two M39's from them including this new one. The other was a 44 Sako SkY, but it's a refurb. If they still had it, they would sell it as select too because it's SkY marked - SkY rifles always bring more money due to rarity and the collectors who collect only civil guard stuff.

As for an M27, I didn't find the M27 at all hard to locate. Put a WTB on CGN and about 4 or 5 guys will offer to sell you one within a week, I'll bet. Hold out for a decent one - alot of "dinked with" ones are out there. I'm personally looking for one at an attractive price that's inletted for a unit disk. I have the SUPER-rare disk and screws - just need the rifle now! lol... but it's pretty low on the list. First need a M28/30 and an M91/30 44 Tikka.

I got this s few days ago in trade from a friend.




Also have a Rock-Ola M1 Bavarian police carbine on the way. I'll post pics when it gets here.

I used to have one of those- VZ 52-57! Nice rifle!

Must be nice to have gunshows with decent milsurps at them. But then again, if you have to live in Ontario to have them................

[Claven2]

LOL - I live in Ontario and our local shows are nothing to brag about. Badger lives in TO though - chances are he and maybe 5 other people (one of them being his wife...) in the whole region are still conservative-thinking enough to believe milsurp guns are cool so the buyer competition factor works in his favor...

[Claven2]

OK, found this little beauty over the weekend... shipping from BC though, so might take a while to receive it
