You're kidding, right?

Wow....that's impressive...

Did you notice the Finnish M-39s for sale? Haven't seen those on the surplus market in years.

Now..if they start offering Swede Mausers again...all will be right in the milsurp world again.

Aim is a great company to deal with. I just got in a crate of very nice 8mm Mauser for cheap from those guys...time to get the VZ-24 and 98k out for a shoulder-bruising session!

Yeah, I'm thinking the Mosin (any variant) is my gun of choice for tenderizing my shoulder.

And those M39's...well, if the interview goes well and I get the job, I'll have one. Probably in the next week or two. Hobocircus tricked me into wanting one

.

Also, I've been thinking -- I intend to get a S&W .44 Mag 629, and it occured to me "A nice lever action in .44 Mag would go good with that .44 Mag wheelgun."

I wonder who put that idea into my head...*cough*brickboy*cough*

You guys are seriously going to be the death or at least bankruptcy of me...

Now I remember back about 10 years ago. Century used to sell M39s @ 3 for $99

Yeah, you'll love that 44 mag Marlin. Load it hot with Hornady 300gr XTPs for the piggies and load it with 44spl cowboy loads and let your 7 year old practice without hearing protection. Its really a very versatile rifle and one of my favorites.

Careful on buying your first lever-gun...they're like Mausers. You'll start with one, then you'll end up like me with 7-8 of the bastards and ogling even more of them. Theres a nice, early, half-magazine Marlin in 444 sitting in a pawnshop by my house and I really think it is going to follow me home really soon! I really don't know if I have a use for the 444 Marlin caliber, but its a really nice rifle.

It just never ends...get use to it!
