The Original Shorty Mosin: The Model 1907 Carbine

Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! shop.forgottenweapons.com
The creation of a short and handy Mosin Nagant carbine to complement the standard M891 was prompted by the Russo-Japanese War. Lots of Russian troops with roles other than infantry - machine gun and artillery crews in particular - were unnecessarily burdened with full length rifles, and the Model 1907 carbine was intended to fix that. Produced at the Izhevsk Arsenal, the model was adopted in 1907 and made until 1914. A total of about 344,000 were originally made (not that the serial numbers reset at 1 for each year of production), but very few survive today.
Mechanically, the receiver and butt of the 1907 is identical to the M1891. The carbine differs in its handguard, sights, and 20 inch (508mm) long barrel.
There were two patterns of the Model 1907, as the rear sight changed in 1908 to match the then-new Spitzer bullet adopted by the Russian military. The first pattern is graduated up to 1900 arshins and the second pattern (like this one) goes to 2000 arshins, thanks to the increased velocity of the new ammunition. In addition, a recoil bolt was added to the guns around 1910 to help handle the increased recoil of that new ammunition (some earlier guns were retrofitted with those recoil bolts as well).
Ultimately, the 1907 was judged to have very intense flash and recoil, and not considered a particularly successful design. With the outbreak of World War One, production was stopped in favor of making more of the M1891 rifles instead. Of course, carbines like the 1907 would return with the M38 and M44 a few decades later...

Pretty cool how the armorer/s took the time to line up all the flat screws.
I think that the Model 1907 Carbine is the most beautiful out of all the Mosin-Nagants. It's short and sleek.
I bet that thing throws some major fire. The M44 has a slightly longer barrel and that thing is a flash bang every time you fire. Loud as hell too.

This size complaint is true today. My son works in an US Army Battalion HQ. He has said to me that he wishes he was issued a pistol instead of his M4. The HQ is cramped and there is no good place to put them. Their primary defense is machine guns. I think as a middle ground a PDW or SMG would be better than a pistol, but if an M4 is "too big" imagine the chatter around full-sized rifles.

There's no exact documentary confirmation wether it was established by The Peter, or was common measurement tradition among some european nations. English measures repeat some ancient russian one to some extent. Last and the only time the clarification of arshin was approved 1835 with some other measures by Russian royal academy of sciences (mechanic Girgenson, Academician Kupfer). That's the only documents on topic.
It's pretty interesting that more than a hundred thousand guns just straight vanished. I wonder what they did with them. Maybe they're in some forgotten arms warehouse somewhere. If any parts were interchangeable (maybe the bolt?) I'd guess these were stripped for parts and/or melted down maybe.

If I remember my Mosin trivia correctly, the original spitzer bullet weighed in at around 180 grains, similar to today's "heavy" loads for 7.62x54R. But by 1938 the changes made to the rifle and it's ammunition during the 1930 review were already in effect. The standard rifle round was a 147gr spitzer bullet, with the 180gr load limited to "heavy" machine guns. This continued until after WW2, when the 180gr bullet was discontinued for military use entirely. As an aside, that change is why both the SVD and the PSL will beat themselves to death in short order if you feed them 180gr loads and haven't done something to the gas system to compensate for the increased pressure and recoil. They were only ever built for 147gr ammo, because that's the only kind the military issued.

As you can see they're both for cavalry and are still fairly large rifles After that you have to wait until the M1938 carbine which is again a shorter weapon and was replaced by the M44 carbine which had a folding bayonet.

@@MlLKMAN pre soviet mosins are actually very uncommon. The most common variants in the states are whatever was left over in america when a few companies had a contract to produce full sized m91s to tsarist Russia during ww1. These in country designs are very rare because the soviets kept reusing them once they came to power and then converted almost all of them to 91/30s. Not the same as a German ww2 K98 rifle which many US soldiers brought back as war trophies, and many gun companies would buy bulk crates of these guns and then sell them for dirt cheap for a while after the war aswell. so I'm not surprised you found one in the middle of nowhere in the US

it ended up selling for 20k because the bidders were high end collectors who figured out based on the serial number and manufacturer that the rifle could be associated with a historical event during WW2. I am sorry for not knowing all the details, all I can say that I saw the auction end with my own eyes at 20k.
Oh yeah, my fav on Enlisted Moscow playing Soviets.
