Tikka M27 gun show find

Post by ffeng31 »

Good day to all !! After a brief hiatus, commonly referred to as a vacation, I am back and in normal form. Albeit a bit fatter and slightly sunburned. First day back and lo and behold there is a gun show in town. Wasn't there 5 minutes and noticed a fella walking around with this little gem. At the 6 minute mark it was mine. Suffice it to say he was either desperate or an ignoramus, likely both. I gave him his asking price and walked away briskly. My lucky day I suppose. 1932 Tikka Model 27 with sling. It sports a spliced Russian stock and has the Ski swivel. Needs a good cleaning , but here are a few preliminary pics...

That is incredible. If I had walked in and bought that within 5 minutes, I would have probably gone straight out the door and back home, completely satisfied.

I wish I could have left right away , seemed like every time I turned around I was seeing the seller. Kept thinking he was gonna ask me why I didnt even try to haggle with him for the rifle....

I can really imagine some strange looks if you brought everything out for a group photo! :pop:

Make us jealous. What did you have to give?
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C. S. Lewis

Remember that a lot of the people who have rifles like this bought them 20+ years ago for $45 and have no idea what it is or what it might be worth today. Nice deal :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Very true but in this case the seller was young and likely just not knowledgeable as to what he had. Strange thing though, he knew it was a M27. :?: :?: Maybe your right JYD, he may have gotten it for a song and a dance and just passed the favor on to me. Either way, I'm pleased.
