Stock cartouches are present, and the rifle is marked with an import stamp from Century Arms International (C.A.I., Georgia VT) alongside the standard M91/30 Russian caliber designation.
The rifle is chambered in 7.62x54R and uses a bolt-action system feeding from an internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate, providing a 4+1 capacity. The 29 inch barrel follows the standard M91/30 configuration.

Sighting equipment consists of iron sights with a hooded post front and a tangent/ladder rear. The receiver, barrel, and most small parts wear a blued finish, while the bolt assembly and cleaning rod are in-the-white, maintaining the period-correct appearance. A full-length cleaning rod is installed beneath the barrel.
This Model 1891/30 represents pre–WWII Russian production and platform standards for the Mosin-Nagant. Made in Russia and imported by Century Arms International, it combines clear factory markings with classic configuration details collectors and enthusiasts look for.
