Description:
In 1938 a carbine version of the Mosin–Nagant, the M38, was issued, and officially entered the Soviet inventory in 1939. It used the same 7.62x54R cartridge and action as other Mosins, but the barrel was shortened by 21.6 cm (8.5 in) to bring the weapon down to an overall length of 101.6 cm (40.0 in), with the forearm shortened in proportion. The idea was to issue the M38 to troops such as combat engineers, signal corps, and artillerymen, who could conceivably need to defend themselves from sudden enemy advances, but whose primary duties lay behind the front lines. Significantly, the front sight of the M38 was positioned in such a way that the Model 91/30's cruciform bayonet could not be mounted to the muzzle even if a soldier obtained one. Production ended in 1945 when it was replaced by the M1944. This particular example does show significant wear. It was manufactured in 1943 by Izhevsk Machine Building Plant. All numbers match. It was imported by Tennessee Guns International. It's an excellent value for a collectible, numbers-matching, Red Army WWII era carbine. No box or case is included. 7.62 X 54R.
