Offered for sale is a Russian Izhevsk Arsenal Mosin-Nagant Model M91/30 7.62x54R bolt action rifle. The rifle features a 30" barrel, hex receiver, five round magazine, two piece hardwood stock, adjustable rear sight, and blue'd finish.

This military rifle developed from 1882 to 1891 and used by the armed forces of the Russian Empire, 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. This rifle shows very good condition for its age with original cosmoline. The rifle also comes with a bayonet, cleaning rod and shows some handling wear. The mechanics are tight and smooth. Serial Number: 9130869121. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
