What's Included
- Tula Mosin–Nagant Model 1891/30 rifle (round receiver)
Built at Tula in 1937, this 91/30 shows pre‑war manufacture with a round receiver and the Tula star crest and 1937 g date on the barrel shank. The steel components wear a blued finish, while the straight bolt handle remains in the white, consistent with the model’s period configuration.
The rifle is chambered in 7.62x54R and uses a fixed internal 5‑round magazine designed for charger (stripper‑clip) loading. It retains the approximately 29 in barrel length associated with the standard infantry pattern of the era.
Sights are classic 91/30: a hooded post front on a banded base, and a tangent ladder rear sight with a sliding cursor. The rear sight carries Cyrillic/metric graduations appropriate to its Soviet origin.
Stock furniture includes a hardwood stock and matching upper handguard, inletted sling slots with metal escutcheons, and a steel buttplate. Two spring‑retained barrel bands secure the handguard, and the under‑barrel cleaning rod channel is present (rod not installed). Length of pull measures 13.5 in.
