Izhevsk, Model M1891/59 Mosin-Nagant, Cal: 7.62x54mmR, MFG: 1943, S/N: OZH1670, Bolt action rifle, 20 3/4'' barrel.
CONDITION: The straight wrist wood stock is excellent as being sanded & refinished, & having a toe replacement. This was done as Part of the Re-Arsenal process. The left cheek of the stock is marked ''1670'', the top of the comb & the right cheek of the stock is marked with multiple faded cartouches. All metal components were re-blued when it was Re-Arsenaled leaving most of the original markings faint. The blued metal finish rates 98% overall. The top of the barrel is marked with a faded Hammer & sickle in a wheat wreath stamp, a faded ''1943r'', the original Russian S/N marked in Cyrillic letters & ''1670'', ''1891/59'', a heavily faded arrow in a triangle stamp, & most of the proof marks have been either buffed off or are heavily faded. The S/N is marked on the left side of the receiver. The right end of the barrel is stamped with import markings. Rifle has a S/N matching bolt, magazine floorplate, & buttplate. The bore is Excellent, & has not been counterbored. The barrel holds a post front sight with a protective globe, & a tangent U-notch rear sight marked 1 to 10. the 11 to 20 markings on the rear sight have been milled off as part of the /59 update. The stock carries a blued steel buttplate that's marked with the S/N on the upper tang. Stock has both sling wells & comes with a cleaning rod.
HISTORY: The M91/59 Rifles were made from full length M91/30 Rifles that were cut down into carbines that resemble the M38 Model, one unique characteristic is the rifle length rear sights that had the 11to 20 markings milled away. These modifications & re-works were done by Bulgaria in the late 1950s- 1960s, in anticipation of possible conflict with NATO. The reason they wanted to make carbines over keeping full length rifles is because these rifles were going to be issued to rear line troops, people like engineers, medics, car drivers & artillery troops. Basically anyone who had other jobs & things to be doing rather than shooting at the enemy, leaving more of the advance rifles for the front line infantry that was doing the fighting. Giving them a smaller carbine rather than a long rifle is better since its less likely to get in there way & is lighter to carry. FFL or C&R Req. - Value: 400 to 800
