Cutaway Mosin Nagant M44 Carbine

Rare Cutaway Polish Mosin Nagant 7.62mm M44 Carbine. 1954 dated Radom production, in very good inert condition, with full working action. The Nagant M1944 entered service in 1944 and differed from the earlier M38 in having a side folding bayonet. Recent documents claim that it was not intended for just second line troops and cavalry, but was intended to fully replace the standard length rifle, as it was considered too long for conventional modern warfare, by the end of the Spanish Civil War, which the Soviets had been monitoring very closely. In fact, the barrel is a full twenty inches long and by today’s standards would be considered quite normal. The Nagants were very tough weapons and could take a huge amount of abuse, like most Soviet designed weapons. Inert gun, no licence required.
