Russia/USSR Mosin Nagant

  • Model M91/59 Carbine : This variant of the Mosin Nagant has been converted from a M91/30 and cut down to carbine length. It still retains the longer rear sight of the 91/30. It closely resembles the M38 and the Czechoslovakian M91/38. The conversion is thought to have been done in 1959. Several sources claim that this was done in either Bulgaria or in the Soviet Union. Most of these carbines make good shooters.The M91/59 has two very distinctive features that make it very easy to tell from the M38. The first is the rear sight. It has the same longer rear sight as the 91/30 but the range markings over 1000 meters have been ground off.

The second is the 1891/59 mark on the barrel shank. There may or may not be this mark.
