A rare opportunity to own a true piece of firearms history. This Mosin-Nagant features an original Tula Arsenal receiver dated 1895, making it over 130 years old and classified as an antique.
The receiver and barrel have been confirmed as matching, adding significant collector value. This rifle remains in very good overall condition for its age, estimated around 70–80% condition.
Chambered in the powerful 7.62x54R, this historic rifle remains compatible with modern production ammunition, making it not only a remarkable collector piece but also a functional firearm.
The bore displays strong rifling, with the rifle retaining excellent mechanical character for a firearm of this era. The original Finnish military stock still maintains a beautiful appearance with remaining gloss and patina consistent with its age.
The stock does have a small crack, but it is not deep and does not affect functionality. Cracks of this nature are extremely common on original antique Finnish stocks, especially considering these stocks are over 130 years old. Original Finnish replacement stocks are exceptionally difficult to find, and many surviving examples exhibit similar age-related characteristics. This is a historically normal feature of an antique military rifle and the stock remains solid, strong, and fully serviceable.
Features:
* Original 1895 Tula Arsenal receiver
* Matching barrel
* Antique pre-1898 production

A fantastic collector-grade example of early Mosin-Nagant production. Finding original Imperial Russian Mosin-Nagants from the 1890s in this condition is becoming increasingly difficult.
A true historical artifact and an excellent addition for collectors of Russian, Imperial, and early military firearms.
