The Izhevsk Arsenal M91/30 Bolt Action Rifle in 7.62x54R caliber is a remarkable piece of history that has been tactically modified for modern use. This 1943-manufactured rifle, originally a standard M91/30, has been cut down to a carbine length, making it ideal for super tactical close-quarters combat (CQB) and house clearing operations. Collectors and shooting enthusiasts alike will appreciate the unique blend of vintage charm and contemporary functionality.
The rifle is in good condition, showing some signs of prior use and handling. The wooden stock has minor dings and dents, and there is slight finish loss on the metal surfaces. The bolt shows a bit of wobble from use, but the bore remains in good condition with well-defined rifling. The overall condition reflects its storied past, while remaining a reliable firearm for practical use.
Included in the sale is a vintage soft case, perfect for transporting and storing this historic firearm. The rifle also features a UTG Picatinny rail with a faux Eotech holographic weapon sight (HWS) and a front adjustable clamp-on ring/post sight, enhancing its tactical capabilities.
Key features of this M91/30 include a 5-round capacity, a modified recessed crown barrel, and a shellac-coated stained arctic birch wood stock with a fullered handguard and metal buttplate. The barrel length has been reduced to 18.75 inches, optimizing it for maneuverability without sacrificing performance. Despite its modifications, this rifle maintains the robust and reliable action for which Mosin-Nagants are renowned.
Owning this modified M91/30 rifle offers a unique opportunity to possess a piece of military history that has been thoughtfully adapted to meet contemporary tactical needs. It's a must-have for collectors and shooters looking for a versatile firearm that combines historical significance with modern-day practicality.
