Finland
Mosin Nagant
Model
M27 Rifle : Valtions Kivaaritedhas, Jyvaskyla,
1927-1939.
Some
sources describe these rifles as shortened versions of the M/24 . The
M/27 standard rifle was a model unto itself, being newly designed. The
barrels were all made by Tikka except for a couple of thousand (2150)
made by VKT in 1931-32. The "short version" should be referred to as a
M27 Muskatoon or M27 Ski Trooper. The stocks are different from the
M/24, as was the hand guard. The nose cap was hinged like that of the
German Kar.98AZ and carried a bayonet lug.
Features:
- Some
"retro fitted M27's had what is refereed to as "Popsicle stick"
reinforcements on the nose cap
- Early
M27s had "wings" on the rear of the bolt. They were later discontinued
as they caused bolt closure problems.
-
Distance between barrel bands is longer than a M39, more like a M28
