If it's stamped US Property, I'll know what it is. This stuff, not so much.
I took this, a 91/30 and M44 in on trade. Is this anything special, in comparison to a $79 91/30?

| 1944 Sako Finnish M39. Worth around $350-400 depending on bore condition. And if it is a pre 98 receiver. Take it out of the stock and look at the bottom of the tang on the rec. It should have a # on it. That will be the year of the receiver. Add $100 if a pre 98 rec. That stock looks like a post war replacement. Almost like one unissued ones. Very nice. |

Nice rifle
1944 Sako M39 is a tough year to find. The stock is not original, it is a post war stock that was added during refurb. I don't think it's a antique receiver. See the dimple on top of the receiver? That is where the Finns removed the Soviet marking. Soviet Union did not exist until 1922 iirc. I'm pretty sure the Finns would leave the Imperial Russian markings alone and would only bother to remove the commie mark. Even then, they did not always take this extra step. |

That tang date just added another hundred bucks to the value, seeing as how it's an antique Tula. |

M39s are generally considered to be very accurate. That one would be a keeper if you are thinking of expanding your collection into the Mosin rifles. There is definitely a market for them if you decide to sell it. this one is a keeper. You won't regret it. The M39 is the pinnacle of the Mosin Nagant rifles. They're usually tack drivers, and seem to increase in value every time you price one. |
| I would hang onto this one. The prices keep going up on these. I sold a shot out 41 Sako a few months back for 375$. So that will tell you something. Throw it in the back of the safe and forget about it. In 5 years pull it out and see what they are selling for. |

Should be a great shooter. $350-$400 or so in value, as others said. There's only a few "rare" M39s, Tikkas and 1940 dated Sakos to name a couple. |

| And straight stock M39's, and no date, no maker M39's, or 48's, or "B" barrels, or......well, hell there are all sorts of variations. Even a run of the mill VKT is about twice as rare as a run of the mill Sako. Remember, they didn't make a ton of M39's to begin with, so compared to lots of military rifles, they're ALL rare. |

Google "White Death"...  Hell yeah! He's ONE BAD MOTHERFUCKER! Makes Vasily Zaytsev look like a newb who couldn't hit the water if he fell out of a boat. Granted, that was an M28 (or an M28/30, I can never remember), but still, you get the point. Correct; his rifle was a White Guard M/28-30 "Pystykorva" or "Spitz"; his personal rifle was a custom rifle, made mainly for competitive shooting, so it was precisely matched and headspaced. |
