Description:
1943 Mfg. WORLD WAR II Soviet IZHEVSK ARSENAL Mosin-Nagant M91/30 C&R Rifle

1938 Dated Russian Military Bolt Action INFANTRY RIFLE

Here we present a C&R Soviet Russia Mosin-Nagant Model 1891/30 Rifle, made circa 1943 at the Izhevsk Arsenal with a production run between 1891 and 1973 and most certainly saw action in World War II. This rifle is a 1930 variant of the original Model 1891. Faced with a growing demand for firearms for Russia’s armed forces in the early 19th century, Tsar Alexander I ordered the construction of a large rifle plant 750 miles east of Moscow, in the forests along the Izh river. Over the years, an entire city sprang up around the arms factory, which in time was to become known as the Izhevsk Arsenal and the home of the world-famous Kalashnikov rifle.

This was no doubt the most prolific version of the Mosin–Nagant. It was produced for standard issue to all Soviet infantry from 1930 to 1945. Most Dragoon rifles were also converted to the M1891/30 standard. The Soviet Model 1891 known in the West as the Mosin–Nagant and in Russia as Mosin's rifle is a five-shot, bolt action, internal magazine fed military rifle developed from 1882 to 1891 and used by the armed forces of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and various other nations.

It is one of the most mass-produced military bolt-action rifles in history with over 37 million units having been made since its inception in 1891, and, in spite of its age, it has been used in various conflicts around the world up to the present day. This specimen is dated “1943” and marked with numerous inspection marks. It is chambered in the 7.62x54R cartridge, with a magazine capacity of 5.

The overall condition is good. The bore is dim but retains some shimmer and strong rifling. Absent cleaning rod. “CAI” Import marked. Mixed numbers. Gray patina. The stock is refinished and remains in good condition with light wear. Arsenal refurbished. The action is strong and smooth.
