It's actually a good idea and would not be a bad practice on hunting rifles in general. I suspect this may also have occurred with Finn M/N barrels.
Various German rifle barrels were counterbored from the factory during WW2 which provided additional protection against muzzle damage. If it was simply a matter of refreshing the crown, they would not have needed to counter bore them since a simple re-crown would suffice. Rifle by Terrence Lapin, ISBN: 1882391217, production totals obtained from Mosin Nagant Approximately 116,800 total M39 production, only 10,500 made for the SkY (Civil. It was a good design, much improved over the M91 it replaced.

Yes counter boring the barrel should by necessity include a fresh crown but these barrels were counter bored because the rifling towards the end of the barrel was worn. Many of these rifles were built with older recycled M91 stocks which tended to crack under heavy bayonet use. The toe splice is a repair that came later.

It is normal on any gun for that area of the stock to break and need fixing.
Rogue, your answer is not entirely correct. The M39 stock does not use reused stocks, that should be obvious from the shape of the stock compared to other variants. The M39 stock does not use reused stocks, that should be obvious from the shape of the stock compared to other variants. So it can potentially lower the value a little, but it's very common on military surplus rifles, so the impact is generally minimal. The artic birch stock has some nice figure, but it does have a crack at the wrist that was professionally repaired by my stock guy. Some collectors prefer barrels that aren't counterbored. A counterbored barrel will be more accurate than a non-counterbored barrel with a damaged crown, and generally just as accurate as a non-counterbored, non-damaged barrel. Rifles that had damage to the crown were counterbored to recess a new, undamaged crown further down into the barrel. While I'm at it why do you see some of these rifles with counter bored barrels? What was the purpose for doing this? Does it lower the value on a rifle? Is it less accurate?
