I would like to present for you a 1952 Izhevsk Mosin Nagant single shot training rifle. The rifle is based upon the 91/30 rifle with a low wall receiver with a plate install in the receiver where the magazine would fit.. The stock is different from a 91/30’s in that no prevision is made for a mag well and has a bedding pillar installed through which the front action screw passes thru and no privision is made in the stock for a cleaning rod. The original finish on the rifle is shellac and is quite worn on this rifle and the heal of the butt stock has been repaired. The hand guard is longer than a standard 91/30’s to compensate for the shorter fixed rear sight on the rifle and the front sight base is an M44 base.
It has been reported that between 10 to 30 of these rifles where imported by CAI in the early 90’s and where found mixed in crates with regular 91/30 refurbs, but as of this date only 2 have surfaced in collections, this one and another in the collection of Gunboards Member “Richard in NY”.
