What's the difference between VKT and SAKO?

Good price on them. I got mine in the 90's it was mint with tags still on it. They got them from Pat Burns.
Any hints on this distributor?
I'm severely tempted, but I am saving my pennies for a real Brown Bess at November's Amoskeag.

I am also looking to buy a Brown Bess, but the real ones are big bucks.What do you think of the IMA ones?

Not to hijack the thread, but the IMA ones are the Nepalese/EIC (East India Company) Third Model. They are half new parts for $1200. When I bought my 1812 M1795 at Amoskeag, an original Third Model British with a few problems went for only $750. There are already three listed for November, all Revolutionary Era Second Models, and should go for $1500-$2000. I'd rather put my money there. Funny thing in today's market, you can buy a Pedersoli reproduction for $1200.

Lol, cmon dude.
Hey, I can't see into the future. The next post after mine was XXXXX, however.
Actually "cmon dude" was aimed at slapshot for posting it openly when you asked for a pm.
+1 - not finding the distributor. Perhaps someone can PM?
I'd love to own one of these. But with crammed space in the safe, already got 2 mosins, and spending a ton of money lately, I don't think I can grab one
Im in the same boat. Got one anyway.
Looks like all but the standard selection is sold out.....

Ugh
I hope this doesn't come off as sounding prickish, because that is truly not my intent.
If you google 'Finnish M39' it is in the top 5 hits, and if you google 'Surplus C&R rifles' it is in the top 3.
You don't have to be an insider to find this stuff.
