If its "real", then it's for a Finn M-27 Carbine.

Just wait a bit, that will sell if your lookin' to make some $$$, but to a select few.
A vary uncommon rifle and a few are missing bolts, a very few.

How did the Finn Army number their bolts (?) on them, would be my only question

WOW!

 

M27RV. Still has the bolt wings too. Denny

 

what is bolt wings

 

I don't know Finn stuff that well, but as mentioned above if that's the real deal you're going to be getting ALOT of PM's soon.

That's a rare piece!

 

I will not be keeping it. I do not collect Finnish rifles. Plus if someone can use that would be great

 

The "wings" are the little wing like projections at the rear of the bolt guide/collar, under the cocking knob.

The M-27 series for the Finish Army Mosins used them to tighten the lockup of the bolt, take away any rattle or shake.

Some claimed they bound up with a little mud and either replaced the part or swapped out bolts.

 

thank you

 

It's an M27rv as stated. I remember seeing some that were missing the bolt. I'm sure you'll be getting PMs. I don't even own one and I'm tempted to buy...just in case.

 

That's an extremely rare gun part, easily a $500-$1000 bolt, for a very rare rifle-- If the SN on the bolt is in the correct SN range of the very few M27RV produced. This one falls in the 1932-33 date range. The 300 or so M27RV's imported into the US in the late 1950s by Interarms were the only compete rifles remaining, afaik, other than a couple of random rifles mixed in with 1980's imports of M27s.

 

$500-1000? Several have sold on ebay over the last few years and nowhere close to that - typically $200-250 - probably due to limited demands.

 

The bend in the bolt handle looks to me to be a lot more extreme than the curve in the M27 RV's bolt handle. I'm certainly no expert in this matter, but I'm looking at the photo here: http://mosinnagant.net/finland/The-Finnish-M27.asp

According to my records, this bolt is correct. It is before the majority of the 27rv's though. The majority start in the high 72000 and run to the high 74000's. Still, the lowest serial number i have for an rv is 61000 or so. There are 9 listed between the 61000 and the 72000+.......all legitimate. I'm sure this one is correct.

 

Thank you

 

I sold an M27rv bolt here on the trader a few years ago for $500. several people were vying for it.

 

This bolt sold the day I asked question about it. It is going to the collector who will complete his rifle now with correct bolt.:thumbsup:

 

Good to hear! A popular board member sold one to me several years ago for the same reason.
