The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

I've participated in a Mosin forum before, but I don't know what happened to it. Anyway, I was lured here as my interest in Mosin-Nagant rifles and carbines has flared up again. I just wanted to show off my baby, a 1934 Tikka M27, both D and F marked. I've never opened her up, so I don't know any details on the receiver. Also, I have this one pic, which doesn't show the sling, however the sling is installed on a swinging hook up front and a rotating swivel in the butt. I know I need to take new pics...

Hoping I could understand this rifle even more now, with your help:

Welcome to the board, nice rifle

Nice. M27 with an upgraded popsickle stick front. More pics are needed to tell you more but possibly was refurbed. Has the skitrooper rear sling swivel looks like.

Very nice rifle...

Very nice. Yep, we definitely need more pics! Welcome to the Forum. There's a lot of good knowledgeable people here.

Wow, that's beautiful. I sooooo need an M27

Nice, very nice !!! Welcome to the forum...

Indeed a nice looking rifle! Does it have yet the winged bolt connector piece? We for sure would greatly enjoy more pictures. Welcome to the forum and enjoy what you see and can learn! Bill

I will take more pics ASAP. Get some close ups of the markings and swivel/sling. Anything else I should focus on?

Very nice rifle. cant wait for more pictures.

Yes indeedy! Gotta get one of those.

Took a few more pics tonight. Now to get them uploaded and posted. BTW, no wings on the bolt. But the serial's on the receiver and bolt match. No numbers anywhere else. Also, this the "fat" stock.

Just size the pics down to at least 480x620 before trying to load onto the board, or link to photobucket like I do.

Rear swivel:


Bolt:


Receiver:

Well the first thing I noticed is the non upgraded sight.

Interesting for sure. It was updated to the D throat and yet appears as to not have had the receiver reblued with the rest. Has an updated stock but no updated rear sight. Does it have a tang date?

I haven't had the time or the heart to open her up that far. I should, but I really don't want to mess with this piece of history that much. I will, I just have to gather up the time and courage LOL

Imperial era receiver maybe an american one but I have shitty eyes so hard to tell.

Don't be scared, just take your time. The Finns really seemed to take a common sense approach in assembling these rifles. I first dreaded taking apart my 91/30 and I took my time and mastered it in no time. Then I acquired my first M39 and dreaded taking it down and again mastered it in no time. Same thing with my M27 so don't worry, just take your time, don't force anything and before you know it you will be wondering why you were so nervous about breaking it down. Just make sure you have a clean and uncluttered space to work in where no small screws or parts can run off and hide. I'm with Des, I would love to know who made the receiver and what the tang date is.

It looks like the magazine may have a sling swivel on it- if so that is a very early hard to find part, and a nice plus.
