Offered for sale is a Russian Izhevsk Arsenal Mosin-Nagant Model M91/30 7.62 x 54R bolt action rifle. The rifle features a 28" long barrel, five round internal magazine, two piece hardwood stock, adjustable rear sight, and blue'd finish. The barrel features the hooded front sight and flat adjustable rear sight as well as split barrel bands. The top of the receiver is stamped, "CH 1943 Br 968" with a star stamp. The barrel is marked on the right side of the end reading "TGI KNOX TN 91/30 7.62 x 51 Russia". This military rifle was developed from 1882 to 1891 and used by the armed forces of the Russian Empire, including the Soviet Union and various other nations. 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. The M/91 was the most widely issued Finnish rifle in both the Winter War and the Continuation War. The rifle shows good condition overall for its age having retained much of the blue'd finish with some wear across the stock due to use. Serial Number: CT4832. This is a modern firearm and requires a FFL transfer or NICS background check.*
