Hi, this is rather old(haven't done anything to it in 2 weeks) and not even close to done. The lighting still needs fixing and the wood isn't really done either. So to sum it up i'd say it's around 70% done. :D

Anyway, it's for a pack i'm making(The Finnish Army pack). Here's the link to the original thread in the CDG Forums. Any help is appreciated.

the rear sights look darker than the metal next to it so it looks a bit odd. but other than that i think it looks good.

its very nice, but i'm not so keen on the colour of the wood. as far as i can see the lighting sees pretty decent to me.

Yeah, that's why i said i'd change the lighting. ;)

Yeah, but i want to keep it like that because i'll do the Russian version too with more red wood. I just want to make them look different that's all.

Not directly until the war(looted some Russian AVS and STV rifles and DP machineguns). The Finns used heavily improved Mosin Nagants mostly made from scratch. Only the receivers are Russian.

We still use guns based on Russian design like the Valmet RK62 which is based on the AK47.

also, the PPSH is a finnish weapon, it was first made in finland by the name of: M31 "Suomi konepistooli"

and then russians copied it, after that it was used by vietnamiese on 'nam.

Hehe not quite true. The PPD-40 was almost a direct copy of the M31 with a new caliber and some external differences. The PPSch-41 was an improved version of PPD-40.

So no, PPSch isn't a Finnish weapon, they all differ very much externally but internally they're almost identical(except the caliber of course).

Most of his work is over at CDG, but from what I can tell its mainly stuff for CS and this is his first venture into DOD material.

The stamp isn't really that simple, much more cooler looking. The current one is just temporary.

I think the wood tone looks really good. Reminds me of the Mosin Nagant in an underrated game named VietCong.

If anybody is interested in getting more info on the M39 or any other Mosin this is one of the best resources on the net. Helps me alot with my mosin collection. 3 mosins and counting :) A M39 is going to be my next purchase, just gotta find one in semi-decent shape at a reasonable price, something thats getting harder to find.
