Built at the Tula Arsenal in 1935, this Model 1891/30 represents pre-World War II production with the hexagonal (octagonal) receiver. It bears the Tula star with arrow and period-correct markings, aligning with the rifle’s era and origin in the Soviet Union.
The rifle is chambered in 7.62x54R and fitted with a 28.7 in barrel. Its sighting system includes a hooded post front sight and a tangent ladder rear sight with meter graduations and a sliding cursor, providing a classic military sight picture and range adjustments.
The action is the proven Mosin-Nagant bolt-action pattern with a straight bolt handle left in the white. Feeding is via a fixed 5-round internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, preserving the rifle’s original military configuration.
Furniture consists of a full-length hardwood stock and wood handguard. Notable stock features include grasping grooves, a steel crossbolt, and metal-lined sling slots. Two spring-retained barrel bands secure the handguard and reinforce the rifle’s service-ready layout.
Metal components are steel with a blued finish on the receiver and barrel. Import stamps read PW ARMS REDMOND WA along with M91/30 7.62x54R and RUSSIA, documenting its import history while leaving the key Tula marks visible.
