Title
My work of last two years: M-1891/10 infantry rifle
Description
This rifle was bought by me nearly two years ago. But it was hard to call it “rifle”; it was just rusty barrel and receiver! At the start of the restoration process I was trying to find some markings that can maybe still alive, but none of them survived. And I decided, if there are no makings, by which I can identify the manufacturer and date, I can choose the manufacturer myself! I decided that this rifle would be Remington produced rifle! For less than two years I have been finding Remington marked rifle parts all over Russia, and, what’s interesting, it was sometimes easier to find them than some Russian produced rifle parts! And now you can see the result! Yes, it still has some not Remington parts, or just unmarked, such as Finnish buttplate, some unknown rear sight base, or Izhevsk dragoon rear sight leaf and Westinghouse bayonet! It also has new made walnut stock, which is authentic for American made mosins! All metal parts; buttplate, sling escutcheons and nose cap were fixed to the stock by myself! Also, to find an original infantry cleaning rod is like to find a unicorn, so my cleaning rod was made by welding two cut pieces of dragoon cleaning rod! It may look ugly, but the work is still in progress, and I will do all I can to make a full set Remington infantry mosin! And of course, it will never fire, only blank shooting, because of the barrel corrosion, and Russian gun law!
