Hello,
Found this at a local gun shop and I wonder if anyone can help me with what it is. I think it is a M27 Tikka but it does not have the "SA" on the side of the barrel. I hope you tell it is a nice find cause I ended up buying it as my first Mosin Nagant.
Thanks Newbie from NC

The sight looks like the one on my M-39 Finn. Definitely not a standard Mosin rear sight.
Very likely is an M27, pics of the entire rifle would help, it's positively a Finn.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

I think it is a M27 but I am not sure. The picture was taken at the gun shop so I could get some help from you before I bought it. I got nervous about someone buying it as it was on consignment so I came home and researched and went back and bought it. I will take more pictures tonight. The seller had 3 Finnish rifles for sale and this was the last one. I have alot of questions about it, but they can wait till I get more pictures loaded.

Sweet find. I would kill to find one here in a shop.

Standard M91 unimproved Russian sight on a Tikka 1934 barrel. Is it a long rifle? If so M91 of Finnish descent. What ever it is a good find! Des you better watch it JYD will have you out doing his dirty work for Finns. Bill
Guys remember I am completely new at this, just used the references here and took a shot. Crude measurement has rifle about 119 cm long, and barrel about 66 cm to receiver. It has a hooded front sight, and a stock with the rear sling hole filled and the sling attaching at the bottom instead of through the stock. Bolt is marked T and serial number marked out and new one on the handle matching the barrel.
It's an M27. Very nice first Mosin. I hope you had beginners luck and they sold it to you for $100.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
Just give us a full shot of the rifle showing it's front band and sight, then we can tell you what it is in a second.

Hooded front sight, do you mean like with ears around a blade sight I presume? That and the other things you have now said are pointing to a very good condition M27. Congrats for sure at any price below say $350 or so! Bill
Well I guess hooded is wrong, it has a blade on both sides with holes in them, I guess to make sight adjustments through. I will have to wait to tomorrow to take more pictures as I can not do it inside, as camera is junk. The first picture was with my phone. Well It was a lot cheaper than $350 thank goodness. Now I guess I will have to buy some ammo lol.
That would be the M27 all right, not every rifle will have a SA stamped on it, kind of surprising, but it happens.

Yes, as we figured, M27, and a very nice one at that, if you paid under $400 for that you got a Very Good deal
