Model 1927 Rifle with Modified Front Barrel Band (2nd style)
The front band on these rifles was reinforced with two extensions along the forend to help with the split stock problem on the first type Model 1927 rifles. Many were also fitted with new stocks that were larger in diameter at the front of the fore stock to add strength as well. These rifles have a higher survival rate because many early rifles were modified with this type of front barrel band.
Model 1927/91-30 Modified Rifle
During the Winter War with Russia, any rifle that could shoot was needed by the Finnish army. Many Model 1927 rifles were restocked with Model 91-30 stocks to make them useable.
Model 1927 Cavalry Carbine
Similar to the Model 1927 rifle but fitted with a 24" barrel and turned down bolt. Side mounted sling. Weight is approximately 8.75 lbs. About 2,500 were produced with serial numbers between 72,800 and 74,900. Very rare as most were converted to rifles. Some of these were imported into the U.S. in the 1960s and modified into inexpensive hunting rifles.
