    Finn family photo

    My interest was piqued by a recent post regarding SKY M39 serial numbers on another forum and I decided to get mine out of the safe and check the s/n. Of course, it was at the back of the safe, so I had to pull out all the other Finns out to get to it.

    Decided it was a great family photo op...

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Yeah...there are a few I'm missing and would really like to have....a Tikka M39 would be great. A straight stock, as you mentioned, would be fantastic also.

    You're obviously single...or divorced, to have this many Finns.

    Nice collection!

    Impressed by the oustanding collection of Finns. I am not certain why they have so much appeal for me beyond the fact that an 1891 Finn is where my intrest in milsurps began and a lot of history behind the Finn rifles.
    Thanks for setting the bar,if a bit high.

    I don't see an M38 Carcano there anywhere.

    I'm amassing the rifles from every army from post Civil War to Korea. Can't really specialize too much. I have three Finns, a M38, an M39 and an 1891. I really like the M39 and if given the chance would probably pick up another variation of that one.
