Mosin Nagat M1944
The Mosin–Nagant (Russian: Винтовка Мосина, ISO 9: Vintovka Mosina) is a
bolt-action, internal magazine-fed, military rifle invented under the
government commission by Russian and Belgian inventors, and used by the armed
forces of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and various other nations. In 1924, following the victory of the Red Army, a
committee was established to modernize the rifle, which had by then been in
service for over three decades. This effort led to the development of the Model 91/30 rifle, which was
based on the design of the original dragoon version.
The barrel length was shortened by 3½ inches. The
sight measurements were converted from Arshins to meters; and the front sight
blade was replaced by a hooded post front sight less susceptible to being
knocked out of alignment. The Mosin–Nagant was adopted and modified as a sniper rifle Model 1891/31
in 1932 and was issued with 3.5-power fixed focus scopes to Soviet snipers. It served quite prominently in the brutal urban
battles on the Eastern Front, such as the Battle of Stalingrad, which made
heroes of snipers like Vasili Zaitsev and Ivan Sidorenko. The sniper rifles were highly respected for being
very rugged, reliable, accurate, and easy to maintain. The sniper rifles were highly respected for being

Mosin Nagant 1891/30
with the PU scope replica
A replica of the sniper version of the Mosin Nagant 1891/30 rifle. The
main difference in comparison to the base model is the curved bolt handle,
which allows operating the rifle with a mounted telescopic sight. The curved
bolt handle also compels the shooter apply force in a different way, which
improves the operation and comfort of utilizing the reloading mechanism. Further, a
bit less conspicuous at first glance changes are: flat rear sights, restamping
of sights in metres and a hooded post front sight.
The airsoft
gun is made of high quality wood, and steel and brass. The forestock is made of wood with
mounted brass ferrules on it. Parts such as sights, barrel, lock, lock and
magazine mechanisms are made of steel. Moreover, the airsoft gun, due to
safety reasons, is equipped with a plastic bayonet replica.
The airsoft
gun has been also equipped with a replica of the PU scope with fixed
magnification of 3.5x, and a tactical sling patterned on the original sling. The
receiver has designations indicating the year 1941 as the date of production.
The muzzle
velocity, which approximates 270 FPS can be easily increased by means of any
given spring intended for the AEG type airsoft guns. The airsoft gun has a 6.03mm inner
barrel mounted on it, which greatly increases the precision and repeatability
of shots.
