We cannot be definite if this KTW Mosin-Nagant Carbine is based on the M44 version and not the original 1891, but then if you're a serious collector of period airsoft rifles, be prepared to say goodbye to US$1,211.00 if you badly want this. It's now in stock at RedWolf Airsoft... "The smell is unmistakeable, it's the smell of pure quality, as you open the box and you get a whiff of real wood. It reminds you of finely crafted wood furniture, or even like a wooden musical instrument. This K.T.W. Classic rifle is certainly a finely crafted piece of kit - an authentic replica of the classic, bolt-action military rifle, the Mosin Nagant. Also known as the M1891, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that it was adopted in 1891.

Despite the design being older than most people's grandmothers, the Mosin Nagant had a long service life, being used up until World War II. It was pulled out of production not long after World War II, although was still used by some for some time after. It's design has seen many variant offsprings from around the World, from China to Finland. The rifle of the once Imperial Russia, later the Soviet Union (as well as many Eastern Bloc countries), was later replaced in it's function as a sniper rifle, by the Dragunov SVD.

This K.T.W. replica is a great tribute to the Mosin Nagant Carbine, the shorter version of the world famous rifle and has a side folding bayonet. Mass produced in vast quantities, Nagants can often be found in this configuration as well and now you can own the Airsoft version!"
