M27 Rear Barrel Bands

[Josh Smith]

Hello,

I have a later, larger M27 rear barrel band. I need one of the smaller, early ones. I would prefer to keep the large one and purchase the smaller one, but I will trade the larger one if that's the only way to get the smaller one.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Josh

Not a clue, anything M27 is rare.

Good luck with that. I think every body is wanting a screw for the rear barrel band too. If you could reproduce on of those I know a few people that would buy one.

The other trouble with those rear bands are they are very often stripped because the depth of the screw thread is so shallow. Usually either the screw or the band is stripped or both are.

I have mentioned this so many times it frosts my you know whats that nobody remembers. Call Scott at this number and ask him about your Mosin screws that you need, Finnish that is: 1-706-863-7572 Evans Obsolete screws. Be patient one man operation and very expensive. Bill

PS He is supposed to be working off many screws I have sent him over the years and some of my spare pieces.

Both of my screws are stripped, the front and the rear. How much is expensive out of curiosity?

Well heck guys, I didn't know it was rare. I only bought it because it's a Finnish innovation, and I am a fan of their work!

It was advertised as an M28 + (not sure what the "+" meant). An overlay appears to have it a latter M27 -- were the latter M27 and the M28 the same?

Are the M28 bands rare as well?

Whichever, this one is new and only had a gunsmithing screwdriver (mine) used on the screw to check the threads. I might put it up for sale if someone really needs it. Any idea what it's worth?

Thanks,

Josh

What is it you are selling? A barrel band or the whole rifle? A m27 will run in the 350 range and also the m28 is pretty close.

Hello,

Just the barrel band. I tend to accumulate Finnish parts because they found some unique solutions to problems they had with a mass-issued rifle.

Before I sell it, I will CAD it and see about possibly reproducing them in the future -- though God only knows when I'd find time. No promises.

So, the BARREL BAND would be up for sale if it's worth it. I paid in the neighborhood of $40 shipped for this band. Came from someone in Finland.

This is the picture:

Hurry Mr D!

Thanks to Desdem, it's up for sale, $50 shipped.

It is an M28 band. I do not know if there's a difference between it and the large M27 band.

I would also be willing in trades for standard 91/30 triggers, or especially 91/30 front sights -- say, five or six of either or combined.

If I need to, I'll post this in the trading section. If it's rare, then I figure it should go to someone who will do other than just study it.

Thank you,

Josh
