[KTW] Mosin-Nagant M1891/30 Infantry Rifle (4th Lot)

In 1891, the Imperial Russian Army commissioned Colonel Mosin to design a rifle, with assistance from Belgian firearms designer Emile Nagant (although it is said that only the magazine section was designed), which later became the standard military rifle known as the Mosin-Nagant.

The caliber is 7.62x54R, and it was Russia's first smokeless powder bullet, and even now, more than 100 years later, it still boasts top-class performance. Russia could not keep up with the demand for guns on its own, so it outsourced production to Switzerland, France, and the United States. Despite the chaos caused by the Russian Revolution that began after the Russo-Japanese War of 1905, in the United States, for example, Westinghouse, Remington, and Winchester alone produced an incredible number of guns.

In 1930, the M1930 (commonly known as the M1891/30), an improved version of the M1891, was released. Improvements included changing the octagonal shape of the receiver to a rounded one, adding a handguard to the barrel, and other minor changes to the model. There's no doubt that the fundamentals were a solid design, and the Mosin-Nagant will go down in history as the most widely used bolt-action rifle on the world's battlefields in the 20th century. KTW has recreated the appearance and action of the M1891/30 as faithfully as possible.
