Dated 1927 and made at Izhevsk, this M91/30 Mosin Nagant comes with a sling. The seller says it is in very good condition for its age. It is a used bolt-action rifle in 7.62x54mmR, with a 29 inch barrel, a five round magazine and a wood finish.

A 1927 date places the rifle among the early production of the 91/30 after the First World War and the Russian Civil War. Izhevsk was one of the main arsenals making the rifle, and its work ran for decades. An early date, together with good condition, is something a collector looks for.

Most 91/30 rifles have been through arsenal rebuilds, so the parts may not all match. Look at the photos for the markings on the receiver and barrel, and ask your dealer to check the bore. The rifle is a good, plain shooter, and the sling makes it easy to carry.

The cartridge is a powerful one and surplus loads remain common. Expect heavy recoil with the steel buttplate, and a pad is useful.

It is sold as described. It ships to a licensed dealer of your choice, and the background check takes place there.
