*Russian Mosin Nagant Model 1891/30 Bolt Action Rifle Made at Izhevsk Old Spec Deactivated*
The Mosin-Nagant, also known as Mosin’s rifle, is a five-shot, bolt-action military rifle with an internal magazine. It commonly uses the 7.62×54mmR cartridge. Developed from 1882 to 1891, it saw service in the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and other countries. With over 37 million units produced since 1891, it’s one of the most widely manufactured bolt-action rifles in history. Despite its age, it remains in use worldwide due to its reliability, simplicity, accuracy, and ability to be fully disassembled with a bayonet. Model 1891/30 is the most prolific version of the Mosin–Nagant. It was produced for standard issue to all Soviet infantry from 1930 to 1945. It featured a cylindrical rather than an octagonal receiver, flat rear sights graduated in metres rather than the obsolete Russian arshinii units of measurement, and a hooded post-type front sight that replaced the simple blade of earlier models.
