Mosin-Nagant Ulanen Carbine ("Mosinka Carbine" year of manufacture 1912 - original condition

For sale is a rare early Mosin-Nagant carbine in short version from the year 1912.This compact variant is often referred to in collector circles as the “Ulanen-Karabiner” or “Mosinka Karabiner” and differs significantly from the later Soviet carbines (M38/M44).Historical ClassificationThe year of manufacture 1912 clearly places this rifle in the pre-war period of the Russian Empire.Short Mosin variants were intended for mounted troops and specialized units. Characteristic is the significantly reduced overall length as well as the absence of a bayonet mount – an important distinguishing feature from the infantry version.With a barrel length of approx. 48 cm and an overall length of only approx. 100 cm, this carbine is much more maneuverable than the classic infantry rifle.Technical DataModel: Mosin-Nagant Karabiner / Ulanen-KarabinerYear of Manufacture: 1912Caliber: 7.62×54RBarrel Length: approx. 48 cmOverall Length: approx. 100 cmSights: original sliding sight (lead sight)Without bayonet mountMilitary original versionSightsEquipped with the classic military sliding sight.No modernization to later 91/30 version – original preserved design.ConditionThe rifle is in authentic, unrefurbished original condition:Metal parts with honest patinaNo re-bluingNo modernizationStock with typical military signs of useMechanics functionalBarrel with visible grooves and lands, somewhat rough due to ageThe barrel is not mirror bright, but technically usable and absolutely consistent for its age.Collector's AssessmentEarly Mosin carbines without bayonet mount are significantly rarer than the usual long guns or later Soviet models.An original, unaltered example from Tsarist production represents an attractive addition to any collection of historical ordnance weapons.https://waffen-drost.de/shop/waffen/mosin-nagant-ulanen-karabiner-mosinka-karabiner-baujahr-1912-originalzustand
