I took my father's "new" M39 out to Hotwells on Sunday the 17th and shot it for the first time. It's really nice-shoots better than either our 91/30 or M44. I did have a curious gentleman ask me what it was-he thought the idea of an early-40's vintage surplus rifle pretty interesting. Me also shot my father's new-to-him marlin 1894 and my little brother's brand-new Marlin 30-30. My 35 Whelen is actually there right now waiting for sheryl to shoot it in for me
Mosin-Nagants are great rifles, we've got 4 in the house now...
