Obrez Pistol (Sawed-Off Mosin 91/30)

[Brian W. 3]

It's likely already been suggested but we already have a sawed-off Izh-43 double barrel shotgun but it would also be cool and practical in my opinion to include the Obrez pistol, a sawed-off mosin rifle. It would be simple to make like the sawed-off shotgun. Just a hacksaw would be needed. Here is a picture:

Looks like a pistol for pirates.

It most certainly does. A funny meme I found about it:

Christ it'd break your wrist... have any of you ever actually fired the mosin nagant in real life? I know that there are actual specimens of these "pistols" out there but why?? I've owned a model 1891 and while its a beautiful rifle the 7.62x54r has the recoil of a rhinoceros - it hurts to shoot.

[Disgraced 1123]

Because Dayz.

I fully support this suggestion.

Broken wrists, pah!

 I'd be willing to carry additional splints for the chance of using one of these badbwoys!

 

:D

Yes, i have one. But wait... 91/30, or one of the Tsarist rifles?  

 

But, they didn't break wrists.

Their history starts in 1917 - Russian Empire. The Russian revolution is in full swing, and a shortage of Nagant revolvers for the Bolsheviks has resulted in a new weapon - The Obrez (Meaning "Cut") was used extensively during the Russian Civil War, and since then, due to handgun restrictions, have been illegally crafted in many Eastern countries. And if a 14.5mm doesn't dislocate your shoulder, this won't break your rist.

it was the 1891 with the old soviet marks stamped over the old tsarist marks - its biggest problem was it had been "sporterized" meaning the much of the fore stock had been cut away to make it appear to be a hunting rifle which greatly affects the barrel harmonics (and the collector value sadly). oh and it kicked like a mule, the steel butt plate bruised my shoulder after a mere 5 rounds. the rifle I had been using up to that point was a British .303 carbine but it had all the original furniture intact and fired like a dream.

 

edit: good to know some of the history on the Obrez, thanks :)

Working the bolt has got to feel a bit unwieldy for a right-handed shooter.
