Here is a very nice and RARE Sako Finnish M39 Mosin Nagant rifle with a STRAIGHT M39 stock - meaning no pistol grip. 

"The depicted rifle is one of the first 6,200 Sako M39’s made before tooling was available to produce the distinctive pistol-gripped stock characteristic of the M39's design. These straight stocked Sakos were all produced in 1941 and fall into a known serial number range.. Occasionally, a later rifle will be encountered with a straight stock and will invariably be in excellent condition. These examples are accounted for by the post-war refurbishment program where an unissued straight stock or a reconditioned one was sometimes mated to a rebuilt M39. While desireable, these examples are less sought after than a correct, original and not refurbished straight stocked M39 in the proper serial number range. All original straight stocked M39's were Army contract Sakos."

This rifle appears to be factory matching from Sako. The bolt and magazine floorplate match, no serial number on the buttplate. It has the correct rounded war-time finger splice. These rifles are highly desirable and hard to find. It is in the correct serial number range. The stock is sanded but retains its Sako cartouche. A very nice and collectible rifle!
