I spent the afternoon doing a photographic inventory - some MNs/M39s here... |

I don't have a large collection, by any means; just four MNs/M39s among the mess of other things. Took me hours to figure out how to compile some files,
mostly for insurance purposes. My daughter said "neat rifles" when she saw me doing the photos of the M39s. "Finnish" said I.
"Finished what?" she asked. "Finished" the Russians, says I. "Oh".

My apologies to everyone. Hurried too much in getting this done during nice sunshine. I will need to re-shoot or ask my daughter how to reduce the photos. Too, the background is way too much information. I'll work on this.

Thanks Chuck and Renfield. Now that summer is here, I plan to try my hand at more photography to see if I can't make up some better insurance file photos;
my daughter is smart on this stuff and willing to help most of the time. Top left rifle is just a '27 ex-dragoon, nothing special but important as a basic
MN in a collection. The top right is a '42 Tikka barreled M91 and I am especially fond of it. Bottom left is a '42 B barreled M39 I had EbinOregon glue
and pin some wood splits on - this rifle will be a bit special for having had his hands work it for me. Bottom is a '43 SA M39 I traded with a forum member
for and I like it too. I am one of those people who has lived through the golden years of the MNs/derivatives and always looked the other way but each of these
rifles was given a bit of thought before buying for a small collection. The house; 1965 era, not a square corner in it. "Money-pit on a MN lake" sort
of thing for the past 20 years but it is just about "done" except for needing a new ceiling in the lower level. 3 acres of land; 300' of stony,
glacial boulder and "natural" flora shore line on a 620 acre lake. Nice quiet place to come home to at the end of the work day. Home.

Says you, Eric!
I have decided to shoot this one's wood broke again just so that you will have a job waiting for you on DEROS.
