Keystone Arm in the U.S. is making a mini mosin in .22lr. It's a single shot and it come in a wood crate. Too bad it's a limited run and we will probably not get them in canada. They say that they might do mini repro of other rifle if it sell well.

Better if not single shot but I'm still interested!
I posted about these months ago.....what this rifle really is, is a reproduction of the mini-Mosin given to the former Russian Czar's son Alexi who suffered from Hemophillia.
I was seriously looking into ordering one of these however stopped short once I realize it was just a Cricket action in a Mosin Stock. If this rifle were to take 5 rounds of 22....on oh my god take 22lr stripper clips it would have been total Boss and i'd have paid big bucks...but being a single shot and not having a little boy, I just can't justify it.
Here is an example of the rifle issued to the young prince, it was not in 22lr but an obscure specially made Russian calibre.

We'll, I for one can barely conceal my disappointment. I was expecting something good, like this:
I believe with the stock trimmed like that you could call it a "Mules Leg"
I had a book on weapons in the Heritage Museum in St. Petersburg, in one picture there were 3 miniature Mosin Nagants, an Infantry rifle, a Cossack rifle and a Dragoon rifle.
I think Tula made them for the Czar to commemorate the the completion of 500,000 Mosin Nagants
I cannot remember the scale but possibly 1/3 regular size.
If someone has the book perhaps they could check the information.

If it's a single shot in 22LR I think Polish Wz 48 training rifle is a better option.Proven action (I think it's a Walther or Mauser design) and build very well.
Who knows,maybe someday FB Radom owners/managers will decide to make them again.

I don't think there are any left to import.From what I've heard many have been scrapped because of excessive wear and improper storage/handling over the years.
I still hope for new ones.Mechanically they were excellent and very efficient design.there was also a version with 5 shot mag but it wasn't produced.
