What's Included
- Izhevsk Model 1891/30 round-receiver rifle (7.62x54R)
Built at Izhevsk Arsenal in 1942, this rifle represents wartime Soviet production of the Model 1891/30 with the round receiver configuration. The receiver bears the Izhevsk arrow-in-triangle crest on the shank, affirming its origin and period.
The rifle retains its full-length 29" barrel and standard iron sights, including a post front and a tangent rear leaf graduated from 1 to 20. This sight setup reflects the long-range graduations typical of the 91/30 pattern.
Stock furniture is classic 91/30: a hardwood stock with a shellac finish, a separate upper handguard, grasping scallops, and sling slots. Length of pull measures 13.25". The action is bolt-operated and feeds from a fixed 5-round internal magazine.
Import marking from KNOX TN appears on the barrel near the muzzle, reading "KNOX TN ... M91/30 ... 7.62x54R ... RUSSIA." Matching assembly numbers were observed on the bolt, floorplate, and buttplate, and the receiver is steel construction. This is a WWII-era Russian service rifle in a configuration and marking set that collectors and shooters readily recognize.
