That is a beautiful M/27-66. That is the correct nomenclature. There should be a metal build up on the receiver to float it. It is an Army Target Rifle and I believe also used as a Sniper Rifle. There were only 300 of them made. On the later M/85 (TKIV-85) they used a block for floating the receive...

Ok, here it is. Mine has a roman numeral IV. Mark's might be a roman numeral "X" with a weird font to differentiate from a reject "X." NOTE: Mine is also on a 1941 Sako. Heres another one... bhn.jpg Contractor-stamped barrels: A new rare variant. A "10+" on the rarity ...

Over 900 Finnish marking pics or just Mosin pics in general? I wouldn't mind having the Finnish marks if you are willing to share. Probably wouldnt be of any value to you. Every time I see a mark I havent seen before or a variation of a known mark I save a pic of the mark, not just Finn but everyth...
