This Remington manufactured Mosin Nagant Model 1891 is a bolt-action rifle chambered for 7.62x54mmR rounds. During WWI the Russian Empire was desperate for war material as it struggled to meet the demands placed on its military by a two front war. The Tsarist Empire was fighting against Germany with its Austro Hungarian allies to the West and the Ottoman Empire in the East. Russia’s industry proved incapable of meeting its military needs and the country was forced to seek foreign support. During the first year of WWI, Russia was already securing contracts for foreign made weapons. In 1915 the Russian government secured a contract with Remington and New England Westinghose for large numbers of Mosin Nagant Model 1891 rifles. The contracts had only been partially fulfilled when in 1917 the Tsar was overthrown during the October Revolution. Unsurprisingly, Russia defaulted on its payments. This was not the first time Remington had a major arms contract fall through, the company was bankrupted in the late 19th century when Egypt failed to pay for a large order of rolling-block rifles. Unlike the prior debacle, the Wilson administration paid off the bulk of the contract, saving Remington from going under as it had before. The bulk of these rifles were approved for service by the US Army Ordnance Corps, this rifle is one of the Mosins that was accepted for US Army service (evidenced by the markings on the bottom of the forend). Once WWI had ended in 1918 the bulk of these rifles were sold by the US government to other countries and many were sold on the civilian market. Following the onset of the Russian Civil War, a number of remaining American Mosins were issued to the US Army contingent sent to assist the Russian White movement (it was believed there would be ample spare parts and ammunition to service the rifles in Russia) and a large number were supplied to the Whites. The mission ended in failure as the Communists bested the Whites and their foreign backers including England, France, Japan and the United States. The American Model 1891 Mosin Nagant rifles were well made and this particular specimen remains impressive considering its age.
