    1934 Tikka M27 - 1st foray into Finnish firearms - value?

    I just picked up a Finnishicon 1934 M27 Tikka Mosin Nagant in a trade. Rifle looks to be in very good overall condition with some handling dings, no cracks, only slight wear on the metal in some places (metal finish is 95%+), and a pretty good shiny barrel. The bolt serial number matches the receiver/barrel. The stock has not been refinished. The import mark is on the barrel near the muzzle, and is quite small. According to the tang the receiver was made in Tula in 1899. Any idea of the value of this rifle in the US? I traded a Lee Enfield 1953 RFI No.1 Mk.III* for the rifle. I was thinking of keeping the rifle for a while, then passing it along to someone who would appreciate it more (but am quite tempted to shoot it if it is accurate as I have been led to believe - there are military rifle shooting matches in my area).

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Yes, it is, just to the left of the "Tikka" mark.

    Thanks for letting me know. I've decided that it needs a owner who will do more with it - I have too many projects and not enough time or money, as usual lol. Considering doing a gunsmithing course (there is one at the Lassen Community College north of me - a 2-year course - might be worth looking into).
