Hey guys,

Thinking about picking up a VG condition Finnish M27 with a shiny bore.

Searched for value on these rifles, but couldn't find a history of recently sold M27s on the EE.

What would you consider a fair price for an M27 in VG condition?

Appreciate your insight!
 
Its hard to say, they dont come up for sale often, when they do they seem to sell right away. One recently sold for 700 or 750 i cant remember exactly, but i missed it by a second.
 
Any Finnish rifle is a hold right now. You wait they are going to go way up in value. Especially the m24 with how few were made. I am holding onto my Finnish rifles for a big pay out in 10 years.

25-30 yrs ago I bought a nice M27 for $60. It has turned out to be an excellent shooter using .308 bullets in handloads. Price appreciation is always relative to income increases over time though.

Bought mine 30 years ago also, I paid $45.00 and I sold it last December for $550. Kept it for years and never could get it to shoot good groups. I'll take a shooter any day over a rare rifle that sits in the safe. Still have a bunch of Finn's that I wont part with. Back then SKS's were 5 to 6 times the money of a Finnish Mosin.
 
Thoughts on the M27 vs M39? M39 is treated as the highest evolution of the Mosin by alot of people, but I suspect it comes to down to the individual rifle?

My experience has been that M39s tend to shoot better than M27s. Better sights for sure. Collector wise though I have to go with the M27 - not only are they rarer, they were actually around for the Winter War. M39s are legitimate WW2 weapons (they were certainly around for the Continuation and Lapland Wars) but they don't have the cachet of a Winter War rifle.
