10/7/22 – This is a scarce Remington Armory Mosin-Nagant M1891 pattern rifle from 1918. During World War I, Russia could not keep up with the military demand for rifles, so they order over a million M1891 Mosin-Nagants from Remington Armory with matching bayonets. Remington had produced just under eight hundred and fifty thousand guns in WW1 with only a little more than one hundred and thirty thousand having reached Russia by January of that year and of the seven hundred seventy thousand guns Westinghouse made, a quarter-million of those had made it to its destination by the time the Tsar’s government was overthrown the next month. A period of chaos broke out and by the time the Bolsheviks took charge, they defaulted on their contract to Remington and Westinghouse, claiming the guns were substandard, which was hardly the case. The U.S. Government then stepped in and bought the remaining inventory. This particular example is dated 1918 and has the proper Russian eagle proofs. It is entirely mismatched but has no import marks. Generally, there is not a ton of actual finish loss, but there is light brown patina throughout. Minor wear on the high edges of the receiver, some areas of thinning on the receiver and along the barrel, and some spotty wear on the barrel bands and magazine. Some areas of splotchy discoloration on the barrel, barrel bands, and magazine. Minty wood stock that is likely a replacement. No cleaning rod. The rifling in the bore is a bit worn with some spotty oxidation in the grooves.
