Description:
Finnish WORLD WAR II Dated VKT M1891 7.62mm Mosin-Nagant C&R INFANTRY Rifle

WW II 1942 Dated BOLT ACTION Military Rifle

Here we present a C&R Finnish VKT Model 1891 Mosin-Nagant Rifle, made in 1942 at the Finnish State Rifle Factory Valtion Kivääritehdas, or VKT in Jyväskylä, Finland. When Finland achieved independence from Russia, over 190,000 Model 1891 infantry rifles were already stockpiled in the ex-Russian military depots within Finland. As a result, the rifle was adopted as the standard Finnish Army weapon, and surplus Mosin–Nagants were purchased from other European nations which had captured them during World War I. These rifles were overhauled to meet Finnish Army standards and designated M/91. Starting in 1940, VKT began production of new M/91 rifles. VKT production ceased in 1942 in favor of the newer M/39 rifle. The M/91 was the most widely issued Finnish rifle in both the Winter War and the Continuation War.

The 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 that was developed from 1882 to 1891 and used by the armed forces of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and various other nations including Finland, such as this one. 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.
