Hello all,
I have for sale my Mosin Nagant 91/59 in 7.62x54R. This is quite a rare model in the UK, I haven’t seen another 91/59. It is all matching numbers and the condition is excellent.
So what is it? It started off life as a 91/30, this one was manufactured in the Izhevsk factory in 1943. In 1959, they reworked some 91/30’s to make what you see advertised here. A carbine similar in size to the M44 and M38.
Having been cut down from a 91/30, I believe these have a heavier barrel and the whole package is just a lot nicer than the 38 and the 44 - put that down to the work being carried out post-war. This one is a nice, accurate rifle with one of the nicest triggers and slickest bolts I’ve experienced on a Mosin. It shoots very nicely, with all the drama you expect from a short barreled Mosin - Fireballs. Noise.
I’d like £650 with dies and brass included.
