The '''M1891 Nagant''' is a five-shot, bolt-action, internal magazine–fed, military rifle developed from 1882 to 1891, and used by the armed forces of the [[Kingdom of Liberl]], various other nations. It is one of the most mass-produced military bolt-action rifles in history with over 15 million units having been made since its inception in 1891. One of the contributing factors of its worldwide use was that inventor [[Louis Nagant]] had sold his design to numerous countries including the [[Autocratic East Europan Imperial Alliance]], the [[Calvard Republic]], [[Esthar and Balamb|Esthar]], the [[Holy Galbadian Empire]], [[Lorica]], [[Remiferia]], [[Aurucolia]], and the [[Militesi Empire]]. | |||

Most Balambian Rifles were assembled by Tulo Arsenal. The use of these expanded onto the Estharian Army following the merge of the Balambian Land Forces and the Estharian Armed Forces in 1935. The Balambian cartridge 7.62×53mmR is a slightly modified variation of the Liberlian 7.62×54mmR, and is considered interchangeable with 54R. In 1936 the Estharian Army fielded a new standard service cartridge intended for both machine guns and rifles. This new cartridge was loaded with a new bullet designed in 1934 – the D-166, which had a nominal diameter of .310. The new service rifle m/39 was designed from the start around the D-166 thus it had nominal barrel diameter of .310.
The Balambian Nagants were considered to be the best variant of any Nagant rifles from other countries that used it.
