This Finnish M27 Mosin Nagant rifle is chambered in 7.62x54R and carries Finnish serial 727xx. Its barrel is a 1933 Tikka barrel, marked with the Tikkakoski T in a triangle, D and F stamps, and the boxed SA Finnish Army property mark. The rifle is Finn matching, and the butt plate carries the Remington circled R mark. Overall condition is excellent, and the bore is bright with strong rifling. It comes complete with its cleaning rod.
The Finnish Army adopted the M27 in 1927 as a new rifle built on the Mosin Nagant action rather than a simple update of the Russian M1891. It uses a 27-inch heavy barrel for an overall length of 46 3/4 inches, a front sight base with protective ears soldered to the barrel, and a combined front barrel band and nose cap. The rear sight reuses the Russian M91 base and leaf, modified with six settings for 200 to 800 meters and a separate V-notch screwed to the leaf, and the trigger and sear are Finnish made and pinned together. M27s were built from 1927 to 1940 at Tikkakoski, with smaller runs at VKT in the mid-1930s, and the rifles commonly reused Russian receivers. The boxed SA mark stands for Suomen Armeija, the Finnish Army, and came into use in late 1942. A 1933 Tikkakoski barrel falls in the middle of the M27’s production run.
