Finn Mosin parts needed

[30calflash]

Hello, does anyone know where front sight blades for a M-27 can be found? I fired mine yesterday and it's shooting about 12 MOA too high at 100/200 yards with the rear sight bottomed out. This with Combloc light ball.

Also would like some some arsenal Mosin stripper clips, not the Chinese ones in the white or Finnish copies.

If you have something let me know.

Thanks, 30CF

m27 has a blade type front sight. Not the post like on a Russian.

I have a M27 Front and rear sight that I would be willing to part with.
But it will not fit the barrels on most Mosins ,because of the heavier barrel with a step for the front sight.
Same for the rear sight.
I sporterized one of my M27's and made a side mounted scope mount and left the other one in original condition.

[LAGS]

Now this may sound Stupid or a Bubba fix, but it will tell you what you need to know.
Take a 3/32" peice if Brass rod 3/8" long and crazy glue it to the top of your front blade.
Then fire a few rounds and see if the extra height brings your shots down where you need them.
Then if you decide that that is the Height you need, Or if drops your group too much.
Then you can pull the brass rod off, and Solder a brass rod to your front blade to increase the height for a more permanant fix.
If the 3/32" is too tall and your groups end up too low, you just file down the top of the brass rod a little at a time , untill you match your Sight elevation to your group at 100 yards or 200 yards, or should I say Meters to match your sight markings as intended.
Even with the brass rod on the angle following your front Blade angle, it can be made to look and work like a Brass bead on your front sight.
Or you can just paint it black.

LAGS, thanks for the info. I started to think about adding to the height.

I didn't notice it before as I've been using an M39 more often. The top of the blade is in the white and there's some minor rub marks inside the front sight ears where it apparently rubbed whilst doing the deed.

If you want to pm me on the cost of the sights you have, please do so.

Tx, 30CF.

LAGS--nice looking bolt job!

[LAGS]

THank you.
The bolt handle is my own design and is actually on that one only Pinned and silver soldered to the bolt lug.
Sort of like the ATI replacement bolt handles that drill and tap on.
But I did this one 10 years before ATI put theirs on the market.
I made that one out of a piece of flat 1/4" steel plate , cut to shape, Heated and bent to the Up swoop, then pinned and soldered to the bolt, after the bolt handle was cut off and lug filed Flat , then hand shaping with a file before polishing by hand.
The scope Mount is also made by hand out of a piece of angle iron, that was cut and hand shaped.

BTW
The stock is the original M27 stock.
You can see where I made flats on the stock, then glued wood to the original stock, so I could reshape it into a more Sporting Rifle design

Let me look into a Fair price for these sights and get back to you.
But right now I am using the Rear Sight base to make a L.E.R Scope mount base that will replace the Rear Sight Leaf on my other M-27.
It is so much easier to do the fitting on a loose sight base then on the sight base on the rifle.
They dont make a LER scope mount for this model of rifle, so like everything else, I just make my own.
Why Buy, When you can build.
But in the mean time, try adding height to your front blade, and see how tall you have to go.
Then let me know, and I can measure the Blade I have, and see if it will be the height you will eventually need.

A simple non-maring fix.....

[LAGS]

Thanks RugerFan.
That is a great little trick, and I am sure I will use it on other rifles like my Mausers.
But, Unfortunatly, this will not work for the M-27 the OP has.
The front sight has wings that cant be removed and are part of the adjuster for windage for the front sight for that M 27

Pretty neat! Can have a couple in the gear box for a fix on the range.

LAGS, I'll try a temp fix, could still be interested in the front blade as mentioned.

Thanks all, 30CF.

Run a bead of hot glue on the blade and use a marker to paint it black. Or use some epoxy to do the same thing. Then files the sides and top.

[LAGS]

Gluing a brass rod on with Crazy glue works really good
Heck, I glue front Ramps on rifles to try them at the range before I decide that they are aligned to my liking before drilling and tapping the barrel or silver soldering them on.
I like my sights set Dead Center of the adjustment on the sights for a given range, Especially right to left.
Same thing on Scopes.
Both Crosshairs set to Dead Center of the tube, and the rifle hitting center of target at 200 yards.
I am just picky that way, But then I do my own work, so time is all that it costs me.

@ 30 calflash
I looked at the front sight blades on both my M 27's
One is stamped in the top of the blade 7.2 and the other is 6.2
The 7.2 one measures .620 from the bottom of the sight blade to the point on the sight blade.
The one marked 6.2 measures .580 fron the bottom of the blade mounting lug to the top of the point on the Sight blade.
Take your front sight blade out of the base, and measure its overall height and see where you are at.
See if your blade is really filed down.

[30calflash]

Thanks for the info, I'll check it out.

I've seen the sight markings on the M39, wasn't sure what heights were out there.

[LAGS]

I did some more checking.
The 6.2 and 7.2 markings are in Milimeters.
And if converted to inches, it corrisponds to the blade height from the top of the bead or blade to the bottom of the blade where it hits the front sight base.
you just multiply the MM by .03937 to convert it to inches.

With a 24" distance between the front and rear sights, you need to Add .0800" to your front blade to make the bullet hit 12" lower.
3/32" is .0938"
So the 3/32" is almost perfect and gives you room to do some filing if needed.

Look up Vic on gunboards, he has a for sale tread for various Finnish Mosin parts

[30calflash]

Thanks Remiel, I may have a fix.
