[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2991853, member: 13284"] A M1917 has long been on my short list of rifles that I've wanted to add to my collection. Lately I've been kicking around the idea of swapping my last two Finns ('42 VKT M39 and '29 Izhevsk Winter War capture) for a nice Remington (if I can locate one). Unfortunately several years back, I let a nice lend lease slip through my fingers over at OAS and I've regretted it ever since. Anyone have any feedback on these rifles? I know that there are fairly common issues regarding cracked receivers, but I think that this was an issue isolated to Eddystone rifles. Anything else to keep an eye out for? Would this be an ill advised trade? The M39 is my best shooter so I'm a little hesitant to part with it.
