Russian ~ M44 ~ 7.62x54R

Russian M44 7.62x54R The Mosin-Nagant M44 is the Russian designed carbine rifle that arrived too late to win World War II. Although Russia is a vast country, most of the war fighting took place in major cities. The Russians needed an answer for urban combat and technology's answer was the M44. The M44 is lighter and shorter than its predecessor and boasts a folding bayonet. In five years the soviets produced over 7,000,000. It was a weapon designed for all soldiers. Only a few actually made it to the front line, but the M44's unique draws and reliable shooting have made it popular on and off the battlefield in many countries since 1948. This example is in good shape an perfect for the collector of surplus rifles.
