So I just came across an M27 Bayonet Im thinking of getting for my Finnish Nagant, how much is it worth? Will it work with the 91/30 model as well as the 39? Thanks in advance.

I forget if it was the Finn Bayonets or the Krag Bayonets which they're respective gov had destroyed, if its this one, which im thinking it is, btw this one is in near mint condition, im assuming it should be worth alot. Ive heard of some being more valuable then the rifles they sit on.
no workee on 91/30s!
grab it, they're scarce.
Doesnt work on a Finn 91-30? One sight I was reading said they are all (M91 M27 M39) designed for the same bayonet but maybe your right, we'll see when it gets here (I hope your wrong :) ) I hope its worth a lot because I paid enough for it lol
Finnish Bayonets heres a page I was looking into, it seems to imply they all use the same design, just different variations in screws, grip patterns, and blade shape changes here and there but Im pretty sure they are interchangeable, i hope, if not im selling it most likely.
The bayonet lug on a 91/30 IS the front sight. Finns used a separate attaching lug under the fore end tip.
Mine is a Finn model, it has the same front lower band mount to it, heres a picture of a similar one.
How odd. I've seen regular old 91/30s restocked by the Finns, but they look just like the Soviet pattern. (Discounting the "double stacked" front sight variant.)
I wish I could see detail in your pic, but it's not going to happen on this machine!
I just don't think a 91/30 would have the right muzzle diameter (unless it's sleeved) for the Finn bayonet, even if it has the lug. Maybe someone else w/ a better "view" of your rifle can help. I'm NOT ruling out that your description is correct, I've just never heard of it before!
I haven't brought it home just yet I wish I could send some pictures along but until then I'm still looking this rifle up myself. The tale of Simmo Hayha definitely made this happen. The Finns built theyre own they referred to them as M91s and Im thinking many were updated along to M27 M28 then M39 models, but it is Finnish made all the way this one. :) and I got the Bayonet. double :)
Ach, now that I can SEE your pic, that's a Finn M39. Not a 91/30 at all, altough I reckon it could have a 91/30 receiver.
