M1891/30 Bayonet

Description

Socket bayonet for use with the 7.62 x 54 mm. M1891/30 Mosin-Nagant rifle. The M1891/30 was Russia's standard service rifle during WWII. The M1891/30 bayonet has a press stud to secure the bayonet in place, rather than the locking ring of the M1891. This example is typical of crude wartime production, with heavy tool marks.
