Lahti-Da?

mrerick · 10-21-2016, 03:28 PM

Zorba, I bought my Lahti from Bob Simpson a couple of years ago. He had a number of complete rigs for sale at that time. You might check with him and see what he still has in stock.

IIRC, my Lahti (which was an equivalent to brand new "H" prefix commercial made by Husqvarna) cost considerably less than what you've quoted. It's more rare than a military gun.

Its an L-35 and its at Simpson's.

Still on the fence, but L-35s are expensive everywhere I've seen. If somebody wants to sell me one for 3 figures, I'm all ears; but they ain't cheep anywhere I've looked.

It's rare you see one anywhere. The Swedish Husqvarna M-40's are much more common. And considerably cheaper.

With the loaded chamber indicator? Su-weet!

Rig, includes a commercial production military pattern leather holster in very good condition, with an extra original magazine, cleaning rod and tool.

Not an unreasonable price for a Valmet w/LCI, 2 mags, tool, & holster...IMO...

Simpson's does consider offers...

It certainly seems to be market correct - I've always noticed that price estimates on fora like this one tend to be on the low side!

Unfortunately, reality intrudes.

You must strike now! Once Hillary takes office, she'll put a stop to all sales. It'll take a while for her to get some kind of gun-surrender program infrastructure up and functional, and by then you'll have had some fun with the L-35.

I'm hoping we'll be able to just surrender the serialized frames and sell the 'parts kits' left over.

BTW, I mentioned/described my 1900AE purchase from Simpson in another thread, but it bears repeating: if you call and ask for a salesman and give him the lot number, he will go to the safe and pull it out and describe it to you and answer your questions. I got 'Floyd' and he was very honest and descriptive about the flaws (poor bore, blue gone to brown, mismatched/damaged mag).

You don't find that kind of service very often.

Unfortunately, someone scooped me on the Simpson's Lahti. Oh well...
