This video from Forgotten Weapons examines the rare Model 1907 Mosin Nagant carbine, a shortened version developed after the Russo-Japanese War to provide a more manageable rifle for troops not in direct infantry roles. Produced from 1907 to 1914 at the Izhevsk Arsenal, the Model 1907 features a shorter 20-inch barrel, different handguard, and modified sights compared to the standard M1891. The video details two patterns of the rear sight, updated to accommodate Spitzer ammunition, and the addition of a recoil bolt. Despite its intended purpose, the carbine was noted for intense flash and recoil and was ultimately less successful, with production ceasing at the start of World War I. The presenter thanks the Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History in Brussels for access to this historical firearm.
