The M39 is the Finnish refinement of the Mosin-Nagant platform, and this example was assembled by SAKO in 1941 during the WWII era. It uses a hexagonal pre-war receiver that was rebarreled and fitted with Finnish pattern furniture and sights in Finland. The rifle is marked with the boxed SA Finnish Army property stamp and the SAKO gearwheel logo on the barrel shank.
Its 27 in heavy barrel supports the Finnish sighting system: a tangent rear sight with a sliding ramp and metric graduations, paired with a protected, drift-adjustable front post. Iron sights are standard. The cleaning rod is present.
The birch service stock has an oil finish and full-length configuration with a separate upper handguard and two-band furniture. Stock features include a right-side finger groove, side sling mounts, and a buttstock sling slot with a metal liner for the side-sling setup. Length of pull is 13.0 in.
The rifle uses a bolt action with a straight bolt handle and round knob, a cocking-piece safety, and a fixed 5-round floorplate magazine. Made in Finland, it represents the Finnish M39 service configuration built for 7.62x54R.
