Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

The Mosin-Nagant 91/30 earned its place in history, and Keystone Sporting Arms shrunk it down into something a kid can grow up with. The Mini Mosin is the first rifle in Keystone's Mini Mil-Surp series, a lineup of classic WWI and WWII service rifles scaled for youth shooters and chambered in .22 LR. From the straight bolt handle to the hooded front sight and the markings stamped into the walnut and steel, this little rifle nails the look of the original while running on the same simple single-shot action found in Keystone's famous Crickett rifles.
Underneath the milsurp styling is a 20 inch precision-machined blued barrel with a 1:16 twist, a genuine walnut stock, and an 11.5 inch length of pull that fits smaller frames the way a full-size rifle never will. At 2.8 pounds and about 33.6 inches overall, it carries easily and shoulders naturally for kids. The rear sight adjusts for both windage and elevation, so new marksmen learn to work real iron sights instead of relying on optics from day one.
The single-shot design keeps things deliberate. Loading is one round at a time through a spring-loaded EZ-Load feed ramp that lines the cartridge up with the chamber, and cocking the action is a separate step from cycling the bolt, which builds good habits and gives an adult supervising at the bench full control of the pace. A two-position crossbolt safety rounds out the safety features. It is a teaching tool first, but nobody said a teaching tool has to be boring.
This rifle has a way of drawing a crowd at the range. Milsurp collectors pick them up to sit next to a full-size 91/30 in the safe, and kids get a genuine piece of history styled just for them. Made in the USA by the same folks behind the Crickett and Chipmunk youth rifles, it is a fun, well-built way to pass the shooting tradition down a generation.
It is a fully functional .22 LR rifle, not a replica or wall hanger. It fires standard .22 LR ammunition through a real single-shot bolt action based on Keystone's Crickett design. Plenty of buyers do display them next to a full-size Mosin, but this one earns its keep at the range too.
With an 11.5 inch length of pull and a weight of just 2.8 pounds, it is sized for kids and smaller-framed beginners. Full-grown adults will find it short to shoulder, which is worth knowing if you are buying it for yourself rather than a young shooter. As a first rifle for a supervised youngster, the fit is right on the money.
You feed one round at a time onto a spring-loaded EZ-Load ramp that guides the cartridge into the chamber as the bolt closes. Cocking is a separate step from cycling the bolt, so the rifle is not ready to fire until the shooter deliberately makes it so. That extra step is a big part of why these are so popular for teaching new marksmen.
Yes, the 20 inch precision-machined barrel punches well above its size. Published testing has produced five-shot groups under an inch at 25 yards with quality match ammo. The fully adjustable rear sight lets you dial in both windage and elevation, making it a solid trainer for learning iron sight fundamentals.
