Arshins.
An Arshin equals .71 meters or .78 yards, which equates to 28 inches.
After 1930 Russia moved to the metric system and began utilizing meters when calibrating rifles.
Congratulations.
You too Tom.
Actually they went metric in 1924 but it took until 1930 to update the rifle sights. That was the second update of the Mosin-Nagant M1891 and was known as the Mosin-Nagant 1891/30.
