Mosin Nagant 91/30 Rifle-Very Good Cond

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

In 1930 updates to the Dragoon were adopted and the new rifle was designated the 7,62 mm Rifle, Model of the Year 1891-30, more commonly known in the US as the M91/30. Changes included the front and rear sights, split barrel bands retained by springs, and a round receiver as opposed to the hexagonal receiver used earlier.  These changes didn’t take place immediately, but were phased in as existing parts were used up and new machinery was put in place.  Hexagonal receivers were used until 1935 and 1936 respectively at Izhevsk and Tula, the two arsenals which produced the 91/30.  Many rifles dated prior to 1930 are found in M91/30 configuration.  This is from programs to update older rifles by the Soviets and they are known in the as “ex-dragoons”.  Primary production ended in 1944 with few examples, mostly snipers, dated later.  M91/30s were used as the basis for sniper rifles from the mid-‘30s with several types of mounts and scopes.  The most commonly encountered today is the PU which was adopted in 1942 and uses a side rail mount.  Most Dragoons were updated to M91/30 specifications and will have these features but retain the original markings on the barrel shank.
