WWII RUSSIAN ARMY MOSIN NAGANT RIFLE MODEL 1935
The Carcano rifle was the standard weapon of the Russian Army.
The Mosin-Nagant is a bolt-action, internal magazine fed, military rifle that was used by the armed forces of Imperial Russia
and later the Soviet Union and various Eastern bloc nations. Also known as the Three-Line Rifle, it was the first to use the
7.62x54mmR cartridge.
As a front-line rifle, the Mosin-Nagant served in various forms from 1891 until the 1960s in many Eastern European nations,
when the sniper rifle variant was replaced by the SVD. The Mosin-Nagant is still used in many conflicts due to its ruggedness
and the vast number produced during World War II.
The date and other markings are stamped on the top portion of the rifle. The sample featured here has not been touched
or modified in any way. During the 1960's and 1970's it was a common practice to take rifles like this one and sportarize
them. These changes would make them better suited for hunting activities.
The Mosin Nagant rifle came equipped with closed iron sights. The sample featured here has the cleaning rod.
Right below that is the bayonet lugnut.
