i found this pic and cant figure out what the frag the rifle is. this is odd for me not to know or at least have an idea where to look for the answer just ask my wife. but im stumped on this one so who knows what the frag this rifle is?

 

[kfranz]

Lahti Model 39 AT rifle, 20mm is what the frag that is. Whatever that means...

 

[colt.45]

i think its a bois .55 caliber anit tank gun. good luck finding ammo for that thing

 

[kfranz]

No, it's a Lahti, not a Boys

 

[TMM]

in my inexperienced opinion it looks like a modded .50 BAR with a really long (supressed?) barrel...

[Third_Rail]

No, it really is a Lahti. There are other pics of him, too, one with it sticking out the bed of his truck.

 

[Rpriestlyjr]

looks to me as something from a 3rd world country. Used for AA. One guy would keep the gun on his back, with the shoulder straps, whlie the other would fire it at aircraft.
Any older vets out there with an idea??

It. Is. A. Bloody. Fricken. Lahti.

It's just a bigass anti material rifle.

 

[Bigfoot]

Is this another 5.56 vs something bigger thread?

One more time for the reading impaired:

It's a Lahti. They're from Finland.

More info about this particular rifle on the Gun Zone site. Here. And here.

FWIW, anyone with a copy of Unintended Consequences can see an advertisement from the late 60s offering Lahtis for sale for $129.95.

Also, those aren't shoulder straps, they're skids.

 

[ABTOMAT]

It was designed to be used in the snow, hence the skis. You want really scary? They modified a few of these things to full auto after they were obsolete as an AT weapon. Try firing that at the loca range.

It's the same as this:




It's for squirrels, when they're eyeing up your Runeberg's tart, seriously..

 

[Gewehr98]

Umm...

Is it a Lahti?

Just kidding, making fun of the '***** who can't read what kfranz posted.


(WildAlaska had one in his shop for repairs not too long ago, do a search function here and on TFL to see pics of it)

 

[Old John]

Well.................

Could it be a REALLY Tricked-out 10/22....??
Hunnh??

 

[ABTOMAT]

Naw, that's one of those tactical stock sets for Mini-14's.

 

[XD9USER]

NAW....I think it is just a BFG!!!!
