Introducing the iconic M91/30 Mosin-Nagant, a pure piece of military history, brought to you straight from the Izhevsk Arsenal. This rifle is not merely a firearm, but a testament to the resilience and tenacity of the Soviet Union during World War II. Manufactured in the peak year of the conflict, 1942, this rifle is the perfect blend of historical intrigue and functional capability.
The M91/30 Mosin-Nagant is in fair condition, reflecting its use and handling over time. While there is heavy shellac flaking on the handguard and minor flaking on the rest of the stock, the rifle maintains its authentic vintage appeal. The barrel and receiver show signs of age and minor tarnishing, yet the bore is generally clean with only slight corrosion. The good rifling is intact, with well-defined lands and grooves, although it is dark between the rifling. Included in this sale are a Russian Dual Ammo Pouch and a non-matching bayonet, enhancing the overall value of this package.
Firing the robust 7.62x54R caliber, this rifle's bolt-action mechanism, and 5-round capacity exemplify the rugged durability and simplicity of Soviet-era military design. The unique black paint over a blued finish is not just for aesthetics but was a practical choice for wartime production, offering resistance to harsh environmental conditions on the front line. The Izhevsk production mark, an arrow within a triangle, is a notable feature, adding to its collectability.
Whether you're a military historian, a gun enthusiast, or a collector, the M91/30 Mosin-Nagant is the perfect shooter's-grade buy for your next range day. Experience the power and precision of this vintage rifle, and inherit a piece of history.
