HISTORY: During WW1 Russia was in dire need of rifles, they were buying up old surplus arms & contracting with whoever to make Mosin's. In 1915, the Tsars emissary ordered 1.5 million M1891 Mosin Nagant from Remington. Most of the rifles would be delivered to Russia before the Tsars government was overthrown by the Bolsheviks. They would default on then contract claiming the guns were substandard. This cancelation of the contract almost ran Remington Bankrupt. The US government wanted to keep the huge Remington factory in production so that the skilled workers would remain until production of the M1911 could begin. In order to do this the government stepped in & bought the remainder of the guns, still at a big loss for Remington. The U.S. was in short supply of small arms at this time so the rifles were sent to national guard units, various state militias, & training groups, these rifles were marked with a flaming bomb US or American eagle stamp. They were designated Russian Three-Line Rifle, caliber 7.62mm. These rifles were sold off as soon as other options in .30-06 came available. FFL or C&R Req. - Value: 350 to 700
