M91/30 Mosin-Nagant bayonet

Up for sale is a Soviet M91/30 bayonet made in Izhevsk, Russia for the M91/30 Mosin-Nagant rifle. This was the standard bayonet for the M91/30 throughout its production and is compatible with all M91/30 pattern rifles as well as the long M91 rifles including those with Finnish barrels as long as they are still M91 or M24 pattern. However, it is not compatible with almost all Mosin carbines such as the M38 and M44. In addition, fitment is very inconsistent but is usually intentionally tight from the factory, as Soviet doctrine was that bayonets were not supposed to be removed. As a result, the bayonet may need wrenched on with the Mosin tool depending on the tolerances of your individual rifle. This bayonet is in excellent condition and is a necessary addition to any World War 2 bayonet collection.
