U.S. Mosins were also made by Westinghouse
"In 1915 the Czarist Russian government was desperate for small arms, and ordered more than a quarter million Model 1895 lever action rifles from Winchester in 7.62 x 54mmR Russian caliber. Then they ordered 1.5 million Model 1891 Mosin-Nagant rifles from Remington and another 1.8 million from New England Westinghouse. Most of the Winchesters were eventually delivered, and several hundred thousand of the Model 1891 Mosin-Nagants were delivered to Russia before the February and October 1917 revolutions overthrew the Czar. The new Communist rulers negotiated a separate peace with Germany and immediately canceled the rifle contracts in the U.S. To keep Remington and New England Westinghouse from going bankrupt, the U.S. government bought up the undelivered rifles to keep the companies running while they switched tooling to produce arms for the U.S. Army. Some of the Mosin-Nagants were issued for training use, or home guard type outfits in the U.S. After the November 1918 Armistice, the U.S. and its allies kept on supporting the good “White Russians” against the bad “Red Russian Communists” as late as 1922. U.S. forces fought in Russia during that period, and many of them were (much to their disgust!) issued Mosin-Nagants instead of their M1903 Springfields. More of the Mosin- Nagants were shipped to Murmansk and Vladivostok for use by the White Russians, and eventually left there. The rifles were used to fight against the Communists, and later taken into Soviet Union inventory."
