Title: SOG comes through on a B-barrel M39
Post by: kilopaparomeo on December 15, 2007, 05:05:12 PM

I've never completely been able to get on the Mosin bandwagon -- although I have a 91/30, M44 and M38 -- as they always seemed "shoddy" to me.  Even with that, I think Finnish M39s are the cat's meow.  Great history, corrects most of the negative points of the Mosin, very accurate, great trigger, good sights.  Plus I love the "stick it to 'em" nature of the Finns improving the Mosin and turning it on the Russians.

I've also never really been happy with SOG as a dealer...their condition descriptions have always struck me as a little optimistic.  That said, they are one of the few with M39s right now.  I ordered one this Wednesday using their "Wild Card" sale of $40 off.  I now own a B-barrel to go along with my Sako-built one.

SOG really came through.  This appears to be an unissued, 1942 manf model.  Nice plum red color barrel, bright bore, typical crisp trigger, 100% blue.  Plus it has the arsenal tag which I think is pretty cool.

Enjoy

With the $40 off, it was $294.  That's a good price these days.  Most list at $325-$350 for a B-barrel
