Description

Designated the Vintovka (rifle) Obrazets (model)
1930g, the weapon is one of a series of rifles
based on the Mosin Nagant 1891 that were the
standard rifles of the Russian Army until 1945. It
was designed by the Belgian Nagant brothers with
modifications by Colonel S. I. Mosin of the
Imperial Russian Army. The rifle had an action
based on a French style bolt inspired by the Lebel
and an unusual interrupter. One difficult problem
of weapon design is efficient feeding of rimmed
cartridges from a magazine. The pressure from the
magazine spring tends to jam rims of the
cartridges together and leads to stoppages. The
Mosin Nagant used a spring loaded latch,
controlled by the bolt, to hold down the second
round and relieve pressure from the top cartridge.
This feature made it easier for the round to be
loaded into the chamber and increased its
reliability.

Variants: Vintovka obr 1930g with telescopic
sight: In 1932 the Mosin Nagant was chosen as the
base for a new sniper rifle. Regular rifles were
selected for their accuracy and had their bolt
handles turned down. They were fitted with 4 x PE
type scopes with a field of view of 8° 30'.
Azimuth and elevation adjustments were internal
and it gave good performance for its day. By 1940,
PU scopes were used from Tokarev sniper rifles.
The 3.5x PU was shorter and lighter than the PE
and mounted in a twin ring slab side mount locked
into the left side of the receiver.

Karabina obr 1938g and 1944g: These were
shortened rifles. The 1944g model used a Semin
bayonet system. A special cruciform blade bayonet
was mounted to the right of the barrel and could
be pivoted into position.
