SAKO-VALMET M28 7.62x54R 27 BARREL D STAMPED SKI PATROL

SAKO-VALMET M28 7.62x54R 27" BARREL "D" STAMPED SKI PATROL

A variant designed by the White Guard. The M/28 differs from the Army's M/27 primarily in the barrel band design, which is a single piece compared to the M/27's hinged band, and an improved trigger design. Barrels for the M/28 were initially purchased from SIG, and later from Tikkakoski and SAKO.

The barrel shank is marked "D" to show it can accommodate the Finnish D166 heavy bullet and standard Soviet ammunition.

These rifles may or not not come with a cleaning rod and might be missing the barrel band screws.
