Posts: 2744 Oct 8 11 9:51 AM Veteran member Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Tags : None I bought this gun for the barreled action (I have a spare stock for such a situation) - The stock on this gun was heavily sanded and has hairline cracks throughout here and there - I worked on it this Summer and now it looks a little bit like it is supposed to. Enjoy the pic's Pahtu. The pic below is one of the reasons I bothered to fix bubba's reject - The stock was numbered to the barrel.....I have not seen that before. This gun deserved better. I had a chance for an informal range session with the gun down at the foot of the hill - The ammo was a copper washed variety with a painted tip - W/O researching the manufacturer......? I fired five rounds out of the gun, all rounds went off without a hitch - However each round stuck in the chamber, sticky bolt strikes again - I had to rap the bolt on a wood fence post to cycle the bolt - The target was an old cookie sheet - Accuracy was below par - Each round hit the cookie sheet at 75 Pahtu steps, but the group was around 12 inches or so....signnnn - I guess it very well could be the shooter not the equipment................... My short range trip did flush out a bunch of wild horses - They got nervous at my shooting and started running up the hill..... Enjoy! Pahtu. Last Edited By: Pahtu May 10 12 1:22 AM. Edited 7 times.

Neat dog-collar and judging by the wear and fraying on it, the sling has seen a lot of service. I like the 'splicing'; really fits the rifle. This rifle/sling is the sort of stuff that I love in surplus arms; the more patches (well done), the better. How does it group for you? I note the 'wing' on the bolt, I understand the purpose but I've never seen a 'live one'. ed NRA Endowment member LECS #2 Air Force Association Life Member MOAA Member

The bore had some dark stuff in the grooves - I fired the rifle five times in the backyard and then hot cleaned the bore & the bore proved to be shiny but worn - These guns were involved in some pretty thick fighting & must have been put through the ringer from 1928 - 1944.....I have not fired this gun for accuracy - Will give it a go this weekend.

Posts: 4319 Oct 9 11 11:36 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Thanks, Pahtu. One of my M-39s has a rather worn looking bore, clean but worn. One of these days I'm going to get off my lazy butt and take all three of mine to the range... It has been my experience that the look of the bore does not directly indicate utility. Again, I really like that M-27! Not a criticism here but if the 'character' of the other dog-collar is even close to the one shown, if the rifle/sling were mine, I'd put the other dog-collar onto the rifle, just for the nostalgia. I'm curious about what, if anything you might plan to do to preserve the dog-collar(s) and the sling? Will you tell us about the sling and the significance of the HP stamping? Gotta love old stuff cause I are old too! ed NRA Endowment member LECS #2 Air Force Association Life Member MOAA Member

Posts: 2744 Oct 9 11 7:30 PM Veteran member Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	The dog collars were on the rifle when I bought them - I dunno if the metal sling swivel is original to the piece - Bubba sanded the heck out of the stock and in the pic's you can see that the sling swivel is proud from the wood - The other dog collar not put on is in the same shape as the other dog collar pictured - I profess to knowing little about caring for old leather - I use Pecards products on my leather boots(Whites Packers and Rancher) and that product seems to work well with my boots, so I use it on my slings. So far no problems. The sling is scratched presumably with soldiers graffitti - Probably so he could identify his rifle from the other rifles in the rack or stack. The sling is soft and supple, it is cracked from wear and tear plus exposure to the elements. I will never pack around this gun in the woods, it is now retired from service to my gunsafe as most all my collectables are.......I had intended to go shooting, but I had to go to work to catch up on some paperwork and it rained today.....

Pahtu. Rain? Rain. What's "rain"??? Nice rifle! If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace.

Posts: 2744 Oct 30 11 6:07 PM Veteran member Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I had a chance to wring out the old M27 again. Changed ammo this time - IIRC this ammo used today is Chinese. The group is much smaller & my rest better (two pillows) I am not the best marksman, but today's group was better. FYI - I had experienced really bad sticky bolt the last time I fired the gun. I took the piece home, got my shotgun sectional cleaning rod with a 12 Ga brush and my cordless drill & Hoppes #9 - I briefly cleaned the chamber with a couple brush dips into the Hoppes. Cycling the bolt was smooth and easy with the Chinese ammo - It must have been a dirty/gummy chamber before - I am happier now! I had a comrade helping me with the range session. The exit holes on the pizza pan are from my M27 - The vertical string group is from my 1930 Dragoon - Will post that bad boy later. Pahtu. Last Edited By: Pahtu Oct 30 11 7:35 PM. Edited 3 times.
