***USED firearm please see photos for detail*** The Mosin-Nagant M44 is a compact, rugged bolt-action rifle developed by the Soviet Union during World War II. Chambered in 7.62x54R, it is a carbine variant of the classic Mosin-Nagant platform, designed for improved handling in close-quarters combat and mechanized units. The M44 features a 20.4-inch barrel and an iconic side-folding cruciform bayonet permanently attached to the rifle, which was intended to remain mounted during firing. Built for durability rather than refinement, the M44 is known for its solid wood stock, simple iron sights, and reliable action under harsh conditions. Its shorter length and substantial recoil give it a distinctive shooting character, while the powerful cartridge delivers impressive ballistic performance. Originally produced in the mid-1940s, many M44 carbines saw service across Eastern Europe and later became popular on the surplus market. Today, the Mosin M44 is appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts for its historical significance, unmistakable profile, and raw military aesthetic-a true representation of mid-20th-century Soviet small-arms design. Rifle features refinished wood with all matching serial numbers. -AB
