Hex receivers are a sign of an early Mosin, and this 1936 rifle has one. The seller states that it is sporterized with no import markings, and that the caliber is not marked but is 7.62x54R. The serial number is 129086, and the barrel is 30 inches. The finish is black matte, and the magazine holds five rounds.

The seller explains that a 1936-dated Mosin is a Soviet Model 1891/30, a rugged five-round bolt-action infantry rifle. It is recognizable by the cruciform spike bayonet. The seller notes that 1936 was a transitional year for Soviet arsenals, so you can find both hex and newer round receivers from that year.

A sporterized Mosin has been altered from its military form, and it costs less than an original. If you want a rifle for the range or the woods, that can be a fair trade-off. The lack of import markings is something to review, so look at the photos for the receiver and barrel. Ask any questions before you buy.

When it arrives, check the headspace and the bore. Use standard 7.62x54R ammunition, and clean the rifle after shooting. It is sold as described, in used condition. The rifle ships to your local FFL dealer, where the background check is completed.
