WTS 1943 M38 Mosin Nagant

[Snak3.3ater]

This is the artillery variant of the carbine. It was manufactured in 1943 at Ishevsk. It does have various marks and scratches in the furniture. Given it's age it's still in great condition.

$500

I believe all 1938 Mosins do not have bayonet. The 1944's have folding bayonets.

This isn't really a thread for that type of discussion though. So please keep it to interests or questions about the rifle. Thank yiu

"I believe all 1938 Mosins do not have bayonet. The 1944's have folding bayonets."

This is correct......

Looks like a M44 cut stock instead of a true M38 version.

It's an m38 it even shows it on the import stamp.

Are you just posting on this thread to delegitamize my post? Just because these other two Karen's pointed out a mistake? I might have been wrong about the bayonet but this is a true M38. What exactly makes you believe it just has a cut stock? Or makes you an expert for that matter?

Well, your post kinda delegitimized itself.

•M44's first year of manufacture was in 1943, Around 500,000 M44's were made that year with folding bayonets and stocks that had been relieved for the bayonet.

•The third picture clearly shows a stock with the bayonet relief for a M44. M38's were manufactured without a bayonet relief. I'm sure if you posted a picture of the other side of the rifle, it would confirm it indeed as a M44 stock, not a "true" M38 stock.

•just because CIA marked it a M38 doesn't make it one.

I'm sure that as a expert you already knew all this.

Hey OP,
Can you show the other side as well as the muzzle to show if it's counter bored or not?

Hello OP,

I'm interested in if it's counterbored as well.

Just adding as I'm sure you already know but for others. during post war major refurbishment, m44 stocks were much more plentiful so they used them.
