What’s Included
- Izhevsk Arsenal Mosin-Nagant Model 1944 Carbine chambered in 7.62x54R
- Integral right-side folding cruciform spike bayonet
Produced at Izhevsk in 1945, this M44 carries the correct arsenal arrow-in-triangle and a barrel shank marked 1945г. It is built on the round receiver pattern and chambered in 7.62x54R, the standard Soviet service cartridge of the era.
The carbine configuration uses a 20.2 in barrel paired with the integral right-side folding cruciform spike bayonet. M44s were typically zeroed with the bayonet extended, which can shift point of impact when it is folded.
Numbered parts are matching, with a force-matched buttplate where the previous number was removed and renumbered. This aligns with common service and refurbishment practices while maintaining a consistent set of parts across the rifle.
Sight equipment includes a hooded front post and a tangent rear sight graduated from 100 to 1000 meters. Feeding is through a fixed internal 5-round magazine that is charger-loading capable, and safety is via the cocking piece knob.
The rifle retains blued steel components with the bolt left in the white. It is stocked in hardwood with side sling slots, metal escutcheons, and a recoil crossbolt, and it wears a wood handguard retained by two springs. Length of pull measures 13.0 in.
