Which one do you have? Mine are M39s, one is a civil guard..the other
is a provincial guard. One is Husqvarna, the other 2, Sako made. I cant
remember what the rest are. They are tucked away.....shrug.

M39, VKT or some such. On my todo list is to make a removable bayonet
mount. (not authentic looking)

Indeed. I checked with my cousins in Finland and there are NO bayonets
available. He is a muckamuck with Sako and if anyone could get one...he
could.

Ive been thinking about picking up some Turkish bayos and modifying them
to fit. They are cheap enough.

I think the biggest stocks of surplus ammo I have ..the 7.62x54 is close
to the top.

This rifle is a lot of rifle for little money. Very good for training
purposes, as recoil is very tolerable because the rifle is very heavy.


And they are one of the Most accurate military rifles ever produced. If
they didnt shoot 1.3" (conversion from metric) 3 shot 100 meter groups
before they were shipped, they went back through the factory again and
corrected.

Heavy..yeah.. a little. Makes em more comfortable to shoot. Hang glass
on one and with good East German ammo...800 meter possibles are easy to
do. 2 of mine are rigged as "long range personel interdiction devices"
with mounts I machined out of 4140. Both sport fixed 8x scopes and a
lace on cheek piece from a Garand. Decent enough rifles. Better than
most of my sporters by a significant amount. My long range rifles are
in 300 Win mag and up...shrug.
