Had an Interordance from Allen's Armory. VKT - it's gone now. I don't see anything on GunBroker.com.or any other auction Board. Haven't been around to all the other Trader sites yet.

No other Dealers to speak of. It's Dry out There.

Is there a reason why Niner doesn't have a Trader page here?

Keep an eye out I might sell some of mine soon to finance a new purchase. I might even sell a SkY M28/20, a mint Tikka ,round recv 91/30, and a

SAKO M39 in a duplicate year. If I do , Look on all the usual sites. P.Bills , Wayne' B's, GunBoards etc. A Swiss or two maybe. My Money Swiss is a 1958 K-31 with a very early very small mark from PW Imports, WA. Last Year -Allan had two for 300.ea. :shock:

They may have them from Tenn Guns(Importer) - But the FEDS's(read ATF) took their FFL for now..... :shock: Nobody knows what's going on. Private sale or shows are the only choice right now. Look for any WGA posts on the other Boards, you'll see what I mean. Just upped the value of yours and mine...

I still see them on the auction boards. There are a lot of m/39s in this country right now. Try the local gun shows as they show up here all the time.

I bought my M39 several years ago at one of the "Frankonia" stores in Germany.

Price was € 90,00 ( $ 110,00).

Nobody wanted that "semi Russian trash".

Nowadays people start to appreciate those fine rifles from Finland and prices have gone up rapidly since about 2 years now.

A decent M39 (if I can find one) will cost me between € 160,00 and € 200,00 ( $ 195,00 and $ 244,00 ).

Not one Frankonia store has an M39 in stock at this moment.

Maybe they just wait untill the price is "right" :evil:

You might have a chance to find one on E-bay, E-gun or one of the gunshows, but it is getting more difficult by the day.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Martin

I collected most of mine from Big 5 for $79. Got some a bit cheaper from the gun shows.

I got it at a gun show about eight years ago. It is the only Nagant I own that won't pass the field gauge test. The other I paid the odd figure of $102.95 from SOG, Oct. 2001, including 2% credit card jackup and shipping.

The only thing that makes these Finns special....for someone who doesn't have one....is the heavy stock and the really husky sights that old men , like me, can see, as well as the soft trigger pull that the Russian ones don't have.

Here in Germany are some around, prices are rather highUsualy over 200Euro).

Have currently 4, but I do like the M28/30 better.
