(14,559 posts)Mosin and Nagant were working on parallel designs. In 1888 the two were combined and accepted pending prototype and testing. The approved design then went out for manufacturing bids in 1891 as the Russians had no manufacturing to speak of at the time. The first production run was in the U.S. They were known as Dragoons. After WWI they were recalled to the armory and modified to repair muzzle damage from cleaning rods. Barrels were shortened 3" and sights changed from cubits to metrics. New cleaning kits were issued. The designation was changed to 9130 to indicate the modifications made in 1930. Later modifications included a carbine with bayonet for paratroopers and one without bayonet for tankers. The most highly sought after model is the sniper which was modified at the factory to include a 4x scope. Buyer beware as there are a lot of base 9130s out there with after market scopes.
I will not address you further as you are not worth my time. Not here, not in another thread and not via email. Good day sir.
