That's OK - your redeeming quality is that you like Nambus, ya can't be all bad!

I'll include this in my other thread, but FYI (if you've bought one)...

When my Lahti M-40 bolt was disassembled for refinishing it was found that the firing pin spring [14] was broken into two pieces.

It still functioned (I shot it dozens of times) but it is still something that I think should be removed & examined.

The firing pin and spring are both held in place by a pin [13] which needs to be driven out to clean & inspect the firing pin/spring.

Pic attached.

Resurrecting this thread, I'm "fairly interested" in this L-35 at Checkpoint Charile's :

http://www.checkpointcharlies.com/ec...indicator.html

From my research this is a so-called “fourth variation”, assembled post war from surplus parts. However, the bbl has me puzzled. It looks like a Swedish M40 bbl grafted onto a Valmet frame!

Comments?
