Karl is correct they are great shooting guns. I saw some of those during my trips to Finland.

The M39's just feel natural, althought when I first opened my box from WGA I was perplexed. The stock was massive and covered with big black patches. I cleaned it well as I could, but the spots were still there on the wood.

The mil surp had a black grease protetictive coating, and this must 'uve produced the black. I learned later that the black was a natural part of the artic burch wood, and now I am no longer perplexed!

The M39 is one of my best C&R collectible.

Single Shot's okay ? As we don't have a catagory to fit this.... It does have an [SA] proof believe me ! 25mm. I have a 37mm pic somewhere.

Lahti 20mm's are nice too. It's on the mount. These are Finn. ;) you bet'cha.

I think it was painted by the current owner. Don't really know. But it does work... (See pic)

It's really French sold to Finland.The owner was contacted once if he wnated to give it,sell it or whatever back to the Finn Artillery Museum. It was an early Interarms import.No more than 10 came in I think. I'll post a pic of two in the same place from last years shoot.. I was pretty surprised of its rareity.
