...made a score. $450.00+880 rounds of 182 grain(Yugoslavian M30) brass cased and 440 rounds of 1980 Russian ball in a sardine can...mid was selling on Armslist, along with some VERY nice Yugoslavian captured Mausers...they tempted me as well,but the Finn and the additional ammo was TOO good a deal to pass up on. Nice rifle- next time I run my Model 44 or Type53, this will come along for the range trip. ![]() |

All I got is an Android phone. How do I post pics on to the site/forum from a mobile?

Just curious, what is the recoil like in a short barrel like the M39 has compared to a Moisn Nagant?

The Soviet M39 does recoil a little bit more IMHO but main thing is an increase in muzzle blast. About like a model 44. The Finn model 39 is rather mild as the barrel and stock are a bit beefier and IIRC the barrel is still around 26-28". The Finn VKT is one of the MN rifles I regret not keeping that and the Hungarian M44 and Soviet M39. |

I've found that the M39's don't recoil as bad as you might think... Subjective, I guess. Stock design helps. With the M44 and T53, they bark at both ends- but if you snug in properly and lean into it they're manageable. I shot a few M38's and THOSE things definitely punch back at you...weight of the 44/53 bayonet assembly actually helps. 91-30? Normal recoil, at least for me.

I'll stick with my M1896 Swedish Mauser, in 6.5x55mm, recoil is comparable to an AR and a flat trajectory to 500 yds. I've got over 300 rds of brass set aside and twice that in cast lead gas checked bullets.

If I was going to bother with one, I"d enlay some wood for a cheekpc, make certain that the length of pull was correct for me and add a shotgun recoil pad.

M39 is still most definitely a Mosin. But,at least for me; the stock is well designed and fits me. VERY good trigger, BTW,and the sights seem a bit easier to pick up compared to some other variants. Still like my M44&T53, but this is a nice one. |

the cheekpc area should taper down/forward, so recoil does not drive it up into your cheekbone.

Only one of the MN's that ever really beat me up that way, was the M38- amazing what a difference the weight of the bayonet and mounting hardware makes...but for me,it was more of a " really hard ,straight back " pounding... If I didn't lean into it consciously, on my skinny frame it tended to be noticeable... M44 ,not as bad.Full sized 91-30's and Finns? Barely noticeable by comparison.... Subjective, I guess.

increase a 7 lb guns' weight by 2 lbs, reduce the recoil by 28%. Gas op autos dont really reduce the recall at all, but we FEEL less cause the recoil is spread out for a few more microseconds. Shotgun recoil pad does the same thing. You are still being hit just as hard, but because your inertia is being "given" a fraction of a second longer to start moving, you "give" with the recoil a bit, enough to be noticable. same thing when you tighten up your abs at a punch,and exhale sharply, moving gut backwards an inch or so, depends upon how fast you can move and how fast the punch is. Done right, it "robs' the punch of a lot of power. Moon hit me in the guts one time, cause I was joking with him, but a Korean guard witnessed it. I was ready and altho the blow knocked me back a few feet, losing my feet for a second, and I hit the wall in the guard shack., I was ok. Last edited by nikto; 04-22-2016 at 04:19 PM. |

Most autos of similar caliber and weight do have less subjective recoil. Still, there's something I enjoy about going to town on the 3-400 meter berms with the irons ,a bandolier of stripper clips;and doing it with an old turnbolt workhorse. Probably the same reason the autos I favor are (comparatively) crude next to their more modern descendants and evolved contemporaries (AK's and such)- the reduced ammunition sensitivity for function and parts wear...even the Garand and the issue M14(which I like) resulted in US ammo for the military including a different(read" less hot") loading for the 30.06 to save wear & breakage on the OP rod. Likewise, the Romanian PSL could NOT run a steady diet of bullet weights heavier than the typical " Light Ball"(147-150) without modifications... Most of those old turnbolt and " KalashnCaveman" arms will chug right along. Call it a " Workhorse vs a Racehorse " or a " Fighting Dog vs a Showdog".. Each have their places,with SOME overlap. |

No worries. I'm just sipping my Casa Viejo Tequila (Reposado) ,watching a " Person of Interest " rerun ;and waiting for the Gods and Goddesses of Scheduling to kick out some hours for next week. And considering a walk " downrange ". Been a while since I had anything approaching fun.

I'm told by a friend (different branch,but we crossed paths different places overseas) that Eastern Oregon and Western Oregon have a different mindset with regards to the RKBA, and government in general.
