Offered here is a classic 1941 Tula Arsenal Mosin-Nagant Model 91/30 bolt-action rifle chambered in the historic 7.62×54R cartridge, one of the longest-serving military cartridges still in production today.
Originally adopted by Imperial Russia in 1891 and later modernized into the Model 91/30, the Mosin-Nagant became the standard infantry rifle of the Soviet Red Army throughout the Second World War. Millions served on the Eastern Front, making the 91/30 one of the most historically significant military rifles of the 20th century.
This example was manufactured at the Tula Arsenal in 1941, during one of the most critical periods of the Second World War. The barrel is correctly dated 1941 and bears the Tula star arsenal marking.
Following military service, the rifle appears to have undergone a Soviet arsenal refurbishment, a common post-war process in which rifles were inspected, refinished, and reassembled for long-term storage. As is typical for arsenal-refurbished Mosins, the numbered components are not matching.
Mechanically, the rifle remains in excellent condition. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling, indicating relatively light wear. The wood stock is solid and stable, showing honest military handling marks but no obvious structural cracks. The metal retains an attractive arsenal blue finish with very good overall appearance.

- 7.62×54R
