Contract rifle from WWI
During WWI, New England Westinghouse and Remington made Model 1891 Mosin Nagant rifles for the Czarist government in Russia. Most never left the U.S. because of the revolution in Russia. Some were used to train U.S. soldiers when we entered WWI. The rifle is a 7.62X54mm. If it has a 19 1/2" barrel, someone cut it down. Hope this helps. All the best...
