Nice rifle! You got it at a great price in my opinion. I saw this one, too, but I have a P-26. The "AK" initials show up on Finn stocks. I think that they must be an abbreviation for something common (a wartime slogan?) rather than someone's initials.

I guess nobody remembers my pictures from the old board, I have a grey blanket, real East German high quality...wool? Well, anyway, it's gray, but the guns displayed on it are not for sale.

To make it perfectly clear, the Gray Blanket idea was mine, not Larry and Steve's, they took that idea from me. I have been using the above gray blanket to display items both for sale and for the collection since 1991, and other gray blankets since the 70's. Long before the two brothers even thought of selling guns online. " Gray blanket seller's" my ass, Gray blanket idea thieves is more like it, I think maybe I have some money coming for thinking up the idea, maybe a gun or two.

I really like this P-26 rifle a lot. I am glad to see you won it.

I painted it tan for a few years, then when I ran out of that color I started painting it green. It's still outside, and still in use.

Does any one have any idea where the grey blanket guy gets his rifles from ?? I understand he must buy collections but where does he get them in the volume he sells ?? It's just nuts how many he sells ?!?!

Picked it up from the FFL a few days ago and it's nicer then I expected, so I'm even better now. Unfortunately I have not had the chance to break it down yet as the rear band is pinned.

But, let me ask you what are your guys thoughts in the initials cut into the stock, a detractor or a non issue ??

I see $300 not $3000 here in the original post what am I missing? VT, AT, HT and many combinations of those letters are commonly excepted by most Finnish collectors as Finnish in origin so are not detractors in anyway to my thoughts. If indeed the total cost of this rifle was $300 this was a super buy as I just bought a P27 in similar condition for $500 and thought that was OK. What those letter combinations repeated like they are mean? I have no idea as they make little sense other than some now forgotten Political slogan attached by the Finn's to the war effort maybe. Many things in history have lost their reasoning over the years and these letters seem to be one of them to me. Nice Rifle regardless of the cost as I refuse to lower myself to constantly comment on prices other people pay for rifles. First though being you haven't got a clue why they wanted the rifle so that fact alone makes comment a dumb move to my thinking? Bill

zeebill- Glad to see you are back online. I sidetracked Gsragtop's original thread with a link to another auction, wherein the buyer didn't get such a deal IMHO. My fault.
I agree that Gsragtop did well, finding a scarce rifle, especially at the price.

JER don't you be setting any brain game traps for this old drug induced fogged up brain of mine. I am having enough trouble finding my way to the bathroom in my own house. Thanks for the explanation now I understand. I just started today without pain meds since last night about midnight and although I do have some pain it is doable and I feel much clearer in thoughts. Progress off this walker is the next step but strengthening and flexibility have to be maintained too. Thanks for the thoughts and explanation! Bill
