The M39 rifles have new barrels and stocks. The rifles were kept in arsenal storage until late 1980s-mid 1990s when they were surplused by the Finnish Army

The rifles are in UNISSUED, AS NEW condition, still in factory grease, with Finn matched bolts, 100% blue,  new bores, new post war stocks with minor storage and handling dings and nicks from contact with the barrel-bands of adjacent rifles while palletised for transportation (these rifles have come a long way). Some stocks have factory fitted small timber plugs

These rifles represent the
"highly desirable" end of the collecting spectrum. On average M/39s  demonstrated  300-400% appreciation in 5 years

Same as all other Finnish bolt action military rifles, the model M/39 was built on captured Russian Imperial "hex' Mosin-Nagant receivers and Finn reworked Mosin-Nagant bolts. The M/39 has a reworked trigger group with a lighter yet very crisp trigger pull. The heavy Karelian timber pistol gripped stock is spliced to prevent warping or shrinkage. The butt comb is higher than on other rifles which reduces the impact of recoil. The bedding pillar of the stock is often factory shimmed for accuracy by Finnish armourers. The barrels came from such famous manufacturers as SAKO, VKT and Tikka. 

The model M/39 'Ukko Pekka'  rifles are highly collectible and have a reputation for being highly accurate and well made. The heavy stock made M/39 one of the heaviest military bolt action rifles. The accuracy standard for these rifles was 1.3"  3-shot groups with Finnish ammunition at 100m  to pass Finnish military acceptance inspection. It was not uncommon for the M/39 to shoot 3/4" groups using Finn sniper ammo or handloads

Hunting Forum user from QLD,  Unissued  M/39
Mate of mine bought one and he loves it. Has it shooting just over 1" groups with it at 100m (5 shot) and still developing it. Worth every dollar he says

Gary from Sydney, Unissued   M/39 *

Got the chance to try out some hand loads today . 168 grn Hornady Amax - 308, 46 & 47 grns 2208,
all shot @ 100m. VERY windy 5 to 6 o'clock.
'46' was the first group, with the first shot of the day low and left and the next 6 - yes 6 - forming a nice group
The next group I was aiming at fresh air at the bottom of the target, no real aiming point, so I'll take the
blame for the shot that went low. At my age 100m is the limit for my eyes

Very happy with the results
