From Wikipedia:
"Obrez: The sawed-off rifle. During the Russian Revolution and subsequent civil war, revolutionaries, various irregular forces and common criminals cut down the Mosin Nagant rifles to pistol size for easy concealment. Most of these rifle-caliber pistols did not have sights, being crudely made. After the Revolution, the numbers of Obrez bolt action pistols decreased as the Bolsheviks took over the imperial arsenals and gained access to stocks of Model 1895 Nagant revolvers. This unofficial Mosin variant is perhaps the rarest Mosin of them all. Obrez pistols are highly prized by collectors."

You couldn't pay me to own one, but their history is intriguing.

As with all things collecting, it is all what a person is into. Some may like something and need to have it and others are Meh! It is what it is I guess..

Be a bummer to shoot yourself in the leg with that.

True enough. I happen to love non-refurbished SKS's, others look at them as nothing more than bullet hoses to abuse.
