Lahti-Da?

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...

Just won a similar one on GB, 4th variation w/LCI, Israeli contract.
