I found this one in a local shop. I usually pass on the (R-Guns/CAI) billboard on the receiver Mosins but they made me a offer I could not refuse and it was a 1943 dated carbine so......
1943 Izhevsk M44, so marked on the barrel shank and tang. Strong bore but counter bored. Typical refurb.....Bolt/magazine/butt-plate scrubbed and EPed to match barrel shank, laminated stock, all parts are Izhevsk marked.

What was the offer you could not would not refuse $250.00 with a 91/30 sling and a factory Glock G17/19 32 round mag tossed in. They had it priced at $299.00 which was not all that bad a price in today's market. |

$250 isn't bad. Even with the counterbore, as long as the rifling is good it will be a good shooter. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Nice, I also have a 1943 Izzy, but it's the full size 91/30, not the M44. Got it for $160 including shipping, but that was over 2 years ago. It's one ugly beast, but I love it anyways.

It's in a laminated stock which is a plus not to mention the fact only 50,000 were made in 1943 as "trials" rifles. These were sent into combat to test the M44 configuration. I sold my '43 M44 this spring.

Sucks for me as I thought I had a wartime M44 stock/HG in my "stock-pile" I had pulled off a M38 and replaced with a M38 stock but it was a just a post war stock set.

I read this over on 7.62x54r DOT net and seems to be well documented. Makes sense too as we know it commonly as an M44, 44 being the year it was accepted into service, but barrel shanks dated 1943. |

The much rarer ones are the 38 carbines, correct? Was there a 1940? Or just '38's made in 40?

Some M38s were produced on reused hex receivers, but not apparently cut down from 91/30's. I'm not aware of a 91/38. |

The M38 is more common than either of those. I don't think they are considered particularly less common than the M44, unless you're talking specific years. (Tula, mostly.) They generally are more sought after than the M44 because many don't like the bayonet and the weight it adds to the front of the carbine. (I do, but I'm in the minority here.) |
