B Barrel M39
Posted: Tue Jul 29, 2014 7:14 pm
Picked this up a few weeks ago and thought I'd share.
Finnland ordered a few thousand barrel blanks from FN in Belgium during the war in order to make M91 long rifles. Had a lot of barrels left over after hostilities ceased and decided to cut them down to make M39s. And very lovely they are too!
Unnissued and mint. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet but I have high hopes for its accuracy. As with all M39 rifles this one sports a recycled receiver from an Imperial Russian M91.
