Finn family portrait...
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... |

Woo Hoo!
I once had a person ask me why I felt I needed so many fire arms. He sai, "You only have two hands. So max...two pistols and one rifle."
I wasn't able to answer is question. Not because I don't know why, nut because I was stunned.

Looks like maybe you and Pat Burns were pretty tight
Or, did you pick them up "all over"? Definitely an M39 love fest!

I like Finnish guns. Unfortunately I only have two:
One is a '34 Winter War Finn capture (pictured in another thread) and the other is this Suomi M34. |

Doc...I would have had the same stunned reaction.
Tob...I got my first M39 from Pat...a "new bore" VKT that is the first one on the left. The rest I got mainly at various auctions at prices much lower than Pat's. I made a list of the manufacturers and dates while I had them out... 1970 no maker 2 1968 no makers 1 1941 VKT 2 1942 SKY 1 1942 "B" 1 1942 Sako 3 1943 Sako 1 1944 VKT 4 I'm still in the hunt...would love to have a Tikka M39, a straight stock M39, and 1967 and 1969 no makers. The problem is that the Finns have become a little pricey lately. highpower...love that Suomi |
