Mosin Nagant M44 Carbine 7.62x54R 20″ Wood

Mosin Nagant M44 Carbine Surplus Description:

The Red Army needed a shorter rifle, better suited to modern combat than the M91/30. Since the bayonet was still seen as an important part of the Soviet soldier’s equipment, the M38 did not meet the need. The M1944 (M44), a new carbine based on the M38 was developed. The only major difference between the M38 and the new M44 was the addition of a side-folding bayonet. The Izhevsk Arsenal began production of the M44 in 1943, with 50,000 carbines built for combat testing. The M44 was officially adopted in 1944.
As the M44 was based on the design of the M38, the major difference is the attached folding cruciform (tri-fluted) bayonet. The flat back side rests against the stock when locked rearward, and the stock has a recess cut into the right side to accommodate.
