This video explores the Kholodovskii Mosin Nagant, a 1912 Russian ordnance project aimed at improving the M91. Lieutenant-General Kholodovskii and the Tula Arsenal attempted to create a lighter, more accurate, and shooter-friendly rifle with features like aluminum parts, a fluted barrel, and an improved safety. Despite an ambitious design, the project faced delays and showed little benefit in trials, leading to its abandonment by 1916 with only a few hundred units produced. The content highlights the rarity of this prototype and acknowledges research by Matt Martin, with access to a rare example from the Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History in Brussels.
