Oldest first..
First Year of Production, (only 799 barrels were produced the first year, this is #295) 1927 Tikkakoski (Tikka), 1899 Tula Receiver, "Wings" on bolt and receiver
[hr]
My first M27
(bought from a forum member here). It was used rough and put away in that condition.
1928 Tikkakoski (Tikka), 1900 Tula Receiver, Czar mark still on receiver, "Wings" on bolt and receiver
[hr]
last, but not least!
1934 Tikkakoski (Tikka), ? Receiver, No "Wings" on bolt or receiver
Not as good looking as the other two, but not terrible.

That '27 is awesome. the '28 is solid, and the '34 is quite fetching. Great collection!
My M27 collection is lacking (I'm more of a Civil Guard collector). I have a '28 and '34, which I believe to be the most common.
Thanks for the pictures!

Great Mosins Dolk.
I'm not surprised that you have #3 with the tiger stripes. Very nice.
Here is another 27 M27

Nice! Love both of the 1927's (well what I can see of Neal's anyway) and the tiger striped stock on the 1934 is beautiful.

That stock on the last one is really cool. Hard to believe it was a military weapon. I wonder what the soldier who it was issued to thought of it.

Yeah the 3rd one has a lot of grain irregularity. Just looks terrible. Better send it to me before it embarrases you!

I think the middle one (1928) has a cut down M91 stock. It has that weird color putty in a few spots to cover old holes and dings. You see it on Finn stocks sometime. Buy some strange reason, it is my most accurate M27 for me anyway. We get along really well at the range.
The first one (1927) I just had to buy when it went up for sale. They are getting a little harder to find in 1927. Funny thing is Neals is in the 800 range and I was always told they only made 799 barrels the first year. Need to go re-read that on that "other site".
The third one was so butt ugly, I had to give the poor thing a home. I usually keep in in a "gun sock" when I go to the range so it feels less "self conscious".

Wow. Those are some Sexy Finnish ladies. Treat them well, or one of the guys here might try to take them away from you, thinking they would make a better "lover" but, I bet they would have one heck of a time trying

Each one is at a different stage as far as condition and features go. That is why I love my M27's.
Believe it or not, all of them hold my fascination with the M27 equally.

Truth is, that is not even my best tiger stripped Finn rifle.
