New to me Finn M27. About 11,500 of these were made that year so it's a more common year for the M27 which had total production of around 60,000. Mr. Doug's book 'Rifles of the White Death' seems to say only 26,700 M27 were in inventory when Finland surplused the guns...most of the rest lost to attrition from the war I'd assume. I would think most who have held and fired a Mosin would say they leave a lot to be desired, but these guns that the Finns made reusing Russian Mosin receivers and other parts with improved stocks, barrels, triggers, sights and such are definitely fine instruments and any lover of milsurps owes it to themselves to pick one up (M27, M28, M39).

I like it a lot! I'm not up on the M27 and M28, guess I need to get a copy of Mr. Doug's book. I only have M39's. How does she shoot?

SA definitely shows it's a Finn. Nice catch for a collection. If you are interested in seriously collecting the MN, you should buy Karl-Heinz Wrobel's 2 volume set on these. He cites Douglas Bowser as a source!

Just got her yesterday so haven't had a chance to shoot her but hope to Friday or Sunday.

Mostly sticking to Finns. Still want to get a M28 Civil Guard and M39 SKY...maybe a ski trooper (though I don't plan on doing any skiing)!

Nice, especially the flamey buttstock.

I would suggest slugging the bore. I have a 91/30 and two Finns, one a Civil guard 91/24 with the German Boler-Stahl barrel and a 27 like yours. Both of the Finns have tighter bores and shoot .308 diameter while the 91/30 shoots .311 diameter.

 

[stewbaby]

Thanks. Always do. I typically shoot 308 out of them anyway cause the accuracy is good enough for the paper punching I do

You will love the trigger on the M27!
Great score on a difficult rifle to find.

Thanks you sir. Sadly I’ve neglected to shoot it yet.
