What’s Included
- Izhevsk Mosin-Nagant Model 1944 Carbine (7.62x54R)
Produced at the Izhevsk factory in 1945, this M44 carries the triangle-with-arrow arsenal mark and the '1945r' receiver date, confirming its WWII-era origin. It is a Century Arms import with the C.A.I. Georgia, VT legend and 'M44 RUSSIAN 7.62X54R' caliber marking.

It uses a fixed 5-round internal magazine and is compatible with stripper clips, retaining the standard Mosin-Nagant manual of arms. Sights are correct for the pattern: a hooded front post paired with a tangent rear sight.

Chambered in 7.62x54R and built on the rugged bolt-action platform, this Izhevsk-made M44 presents the hallmark features and markings that define the Russian carbine of its era.
