The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Bringing this one out for your viewing pleasure. This is a Polish WZ-29, made with no markings other than a lined-out serial number and a mismatching bolt. The theory is that these were made before the war, by the Poles, and bought by the Russians to send to Spain. It does not appear that the rifle was marked in the normal way and scrubbed, I don't believe it ever had the makers markings on the barrel shank. The bent bolt is a cavalry adaptation to the normally straight bolted rifles. This one has been here for a while as it has no importers markings. The rifle is in good shape, and as I remember it shot fine as you would expect from a good quality Mauser.

I am surprised the Soviets would send these to Spain when they had so many Mosins to send, and did send. That would mean supplying two different rounds for the rifles. I bet the Nationalist forces loved capturing these. Cool rifle.

That is a cool rifle. Are there any markings on the sling?

Looks like something was removed from the barrel. It would be normal for them to have been stamped and later scrubbed and refinished. Should be a fine shooter like most Mausers.
