I'd like to correct one misconception than started at least twenty years ago..........and won't die.
The m/39's are not heavy barrels. Nominally, there are two different barrels weights of Finn's. They may vary a few thousands, but definitely fall into two catagories. The heavy ones are the stepped m/91-24's, late 1927 Tikka m/91's and the m/27's, m/28's and m/28-30's. The light one's are the unstepped SIG m/91-24's, the early m/91 Tikka's, all of the P26 & 27's, all of the 40's dated Tikka and VKT m/91's, all of the "B" barrels and all of the Tikka m/91-30's. All of the m/39's are of the lighter variety since many of the VKT and "B" barrels are cut down m/91 barrels.
Century started this misconseption back when the m/39 first started being imported, and like I said, it just won't die.
