I received my M39 BAV 1 Fin from SOG yesterday. That rifle is niiiiiiiice...came with an additional sling too. SOG has done well lately for me IMHO. Question about the stock...it looks completely raw and unfinnished (actualy it is Finnish, but...). What do you fellows recommend about stock work? To me it looks like its screaming for a nice BLO treatment, but want to stay true to the cause.
On a side note...it came with a cool identification tag in Finnish. To me, the little "extra things" that come with these old war horses are what make a nice historical piece...can't really find that on commercially produced arms today. Kind of like the troop tag with the K31. Realizing that ID tag has been on the rifle for 70 or so years...Im keeping it with my other C&R stuff.
On the back of the tag is a phrase that says:
Huomautuksia:
Aseelle on suoritettu optinen kylma-kohdistus
On the "a" in kyla, theres an umlaut (oomlat..not sure of spelling). Anybody speak Fin?
