Lots of M39 fans on here so I thought I would share some pictures of my old M39. I'm far from an expert on Nagants and what little I do know is from what I researched on my particular rifle. About 14 years ago a local gun shop was closing down so I went there to see if I could strike a deal. Now I knew just a little more than zero about Nagants at the time but I saw this particular Nagant sticking out like a sore thumb in the middle of a bunch of M44 carbines. All the M44's were in pristine shape but this one had some battle scars and I just loved the way it looked. Bore looked good, shiney with no obvious pitting. Bolt was a little hard to open seems it takes a lot of force to compress the firing pin spring but I didn't care. So for not much more than $100 I took it home with me.
It isn't anything special as far as M39s go so far as I could tell. Sako mark and 1942 on the receiver. There is a stamp just behind the rear sight that I'm not sure what it means.
Numbers on the bolt match the receiver but the floor plate of the magazine does not.
No Sako on the stock, just this L mark.
Rounded finger, that means it's a war time stock right?
Really glad the importer did a nice job keeping the import marks discrete.
Lots of little stamps all over the place that I have no idea what they means.
Back of the trigger guard. Looks like a stamp but could be just a mark in the metal?
In front of magazine. Looks pretty light or worn.
Obvious Sako mark on the bolt with what looks like a letter A at the base of the lever. Couple of marks on the rear tang I have no idea what they are.
More marks on the bolt I can't identify.
Number 34 on the butt plate. There is also a number 72 behind the front sight post but looks like I forgot to upload the picture
I've got this one on the side of the left side of the receiver. Looks like a Sako mark was placed over another mark?
