Sorta off topic, not really. I have some very dear friends in Finland, new generation. Their Grandfathers served in the winter war and after. Amazing, sturdy, wonderful people. I live on a small farm and every day in the leg pocket of my bib coveralls is a Maartiini 4", plain jane sheath knife that was given to me. Best knife I ever carried and I collect.

One of my favorite rifles (in my favorite cal...7.62x54) is a 1943 Sako M-39 on 1895, non-scrubbed hex receiver. It is the most amazingly accurate, stock bolt gun I have ever owned. The Finns had the ability to take good things and make them Great. Your '39 S42 is an example. Best to you,
