This video details the production of Mosin Nagant rifles in the United States during WWI due to severe Russian shortages. It highlights contracts with Remington and Westinghouse, the impact of the Russian Revolution on these orders, and the post-war fate of these American-made rifles, including their eventual sale as surplus and potential rechambering to .30-06.
The Mosin Nagant M91/30 is a historically significant bolt-action rifle, with over 37 million produced and service in numerous conflicts. It features an integral 5-round magazine, adjustable rear sights up to 2000 meters, and a 29-inch barrel. While effective to 500m with iron sights, sniper variants (M91/31) could reach 800m with optics. The M91/30 is compared to the shorter but heavier M44 Carbine.
