Lahti-Da?

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

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?

Yes. It has a swedish barrel. I know a dealer in Finland who has nos finnish barrels.

I think I'm gonna pass on this one - I found another that is in at least as good a shape for $300 more with the correct bbl on it already.

$1,500 for a Lahti???

The Finnish L-35 or the Swedish M-40???

If that's the going price, I'm going to have to do some serious soul searching...
