In the interest of maintaining an acceptable percentage of "worthwhile posts", below are pictures of M39 variations. First 5.

Second five.

Ted, your missing cut down VKT, NEW, Rem, Tula, Ishevsk, Chattelraut. Better get on finding those.

Nice to see the twin to my PSV though. Wonder how many are out there other than the two you and I have?

 

[Ihatemacs]

Oh, and a cut down VKT/B/Liege. I'm sure there are plenty out there to find.

Nowhere do I say that these are all the variations, or even that they are all the variations I have.

Ted's just holding back a few, I am sure. Although he does not concentrate on M-39s, bet he has them all at his Armory and is just teasing us.

Watch this...Ted--could you post a few PLs, including a 1942?

And a 1945 Sako?

 

[7.62x54r]

I don't have a picture of my PL M39 handy, and it's a 1941 anyway. Here's the '45 SAKO. Sorry about the picture quality, it hasn't come up in the rotation of new photographs yet.

Would a PL M27 do as a substitute?

 

[finnmn]

WOw, I like that m27. Nice!!

 

[7.62x54r]

Here's the rest of it. It really deserves a new set of pictures.

 

[GregCandR]

Wow, that one is very nice!!

 

[m91dragoon]

Is it just me or has Ted been doing a little showing off on the new boards? Love that PL M27 though and the jap trainers and the M39 barrel shanks.

 

[Cacique500]

Or this one?

 

[7.62x54r]

My Puolustuslaitos M91 didn't get cut down post war.

 

[slimedog]

Shy - I didn't think there were any PL marked 1942 M39's, but I've seen you bring it up several times. Did I miss someone having one?

 

[Mike O]

I have a PL marked 1942 Tikka M91, does that count?

 

[7.62x54r]

I have a PL marked 1942 Tikka M91, does that count?

Only if you send it to me for "official verification".

 

[USMCsean]

We will need gratuituous pics of this "so called 42 tikka."

 

[Ihatemacs]

The cut down PL '41 Tikka M91 to M39 is very cool. First PL M91 I have seen that got the "upgrade" treatment. Thanks for the pic.

 

[7.62x54r]

There's at least a couple of these out there.
