SovietMinistry of Defense marked
91/30 Mosin Nagant rifles

updated 12/26/06

They lined the serial numbers when the rifle was decommissioned from a sniper rifle back into a normal infantry rifle. I've got a 1944 ex-sniper Izhevsk with its serial ground off then a 1943 Izhevsk ex-sniper with it's number lined through. They did this for a couple reasons. 8/28/20 - This is a WW2 Russian Mosin-Nagant Model 1891/30 Sniper rifle, made in 1938. The gun comes with a sling, scope, scope mount, leather eye caps, and a canvas scope cover. All numbered parts are matching except for the scope, but some parts are not correct so likely swapped and numbered to match. The scope is a scarce and desirable PEM example, and can sell for $800 on its own. Mosin Nagant 7.62 Rifle Antique 1897 Description: This is an Antique Mosin Nagant 7.62 x 54 and is stamped 1897 and is serial number 328078 made in 1897. The receiver and bolt are matching numbers. The metal retains over 70% original blue-black finish. The receiver is hexagonal with very good markings. The mechanical function is very good.

The following Russian 91/30 Mosin Nagant rifles are stamped with two (or more) dates and the letters MO, indicating that they were issued to the Soviet Ministry of Defense, an enigmatic Soviet organization really responsible for 'internal security' (think of boxcar-loads of people being 'relocated' to Siberia and elsewhere while being guarded by soldiers of this organization holding these very rifles).

Chilkat software keygen cracks. None of the MO-marked rifles are common, and this is by far the largest and most comprehensive listing ever published.

There are also a few German 98k's known with MO markings. . . one (a 42-code 1940/42 dated rifle) is pictured on page 187 of 'Backbone of the Wehrmacht' by Richard Law (though that author did not realize what the /year and MO marking meant).

All of these rifles have been arsenal-refurbished to AS NEW condition, with 100% bluing and finished like-new wood furniture. Each includes a cleaning-rod, correct web-sling (with leather 'dog-collars'), ammo-pouch, and oil/solvent can with screw-top lids. All serial-numbers are stamped and matching. The wood may have a few innocuous stock-repairs, plus some minor scuffs and dings from crate-storage and transportation but is otherwise excellent to as-new and extremely attractive. All bores are bright and look excellent to new, and most bolt-faces look like they have never fired a round.

A few of these rifles are reconfigured 1891 Dragoon rifles. The Izhevsk ex-Dragoon shown below has three dates, 1929 being the original year of manufacture (as a Dragoon), (19)46 and (19)52 being when the rifle was transferred to (or inventoried by) the Ministry of Defense (note that is one is unusually MO-stamped twice as well).

All these rifles qualify as 'Curios & Relics' by ATF for direct delivery to licensed collectors.
