Gun Collectors Dream Auction #69 Weapons of War!
Lot 363:
Up Next We Have a Scarce P-27 Mosin Nagant M91/30 Finish Rifle, The P-series of Finnish rifles was an attempt to salvage worn-out Russian M91 rifle barrels by using the Salerno method. This involved the reaming out of the original barrel, inserting a liner, and re-chambering the rifle in the original caliber. The Russian barrel markings were also scrubbed at this time. Developed in Italy, this method was used on a variety of different weapons but was controversial when used on the Mosin Nagant. Due to concerns over the viability of the method and the quality of the completed barrels, many of these barrels may not have been installed until dire need for rifles during the Winter and Continuation wars (39-44).
