Description:
The Mosin-Nagant is the most mass-produced military bolt-action rifle in history with over 37 million units produced since its adoption by the Russian military in 1891. The Mosin-Nagant has probably seen more action than any other military firearm in history. Indeed, the Wikipedia article on the Mosin lists no less than 41 separate conflicts from the Philippine Revolution (1896 – 1898) to the currently ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine (both sides, no doubt with the Ukrainians making better use of them). The reason for the Mosin’s longevity is simple – it is easy to operate, repair, clean, has an acceptable level of accuracy, and the ammunition its uses, the 7.62x54R, is still in use by several nations today (including Russia) ensuring a good supply of ammunition for the foreseeable future.
This rifle was produced at the Izhevsk Mechanical Factory in 1945. Unlike the U.S. where the receiver is the firearm, the Russians consider the barrel to be the firearm since that is where the firing takes place. This is why Mosin barrels have most of the markings while the receivers have few. The barrel here features the usual markings found on rifles like the 91/30 and M44. The wheat with hammer and sickle is self-explanatory, while the ? next to the year 1945 stands for ??? or “year” in Russian. The arrow inside the triangle is the official symbol of the Izhevsk factory itself. The “Y in a circle” was the stamp used for a rifle that passed the high-pressure (420 MPa) proofing test. After this test was performed, the rifle/carbine then had to pass two more before being accepted for military service. The second test involved the usage of two hot (324 MPa) cartridges to see how well the bolt group interacted with the receiver. Passing this test resulted in the Mosin being given an “O in a circle” stamp (right side of the barrel shank, partial). The third and final test was an accuracy test; passing that earned the Mosin a “K in a circle” stamp (left side of the barrel shank). The “1 in a triangle” indicates the rifle was rebuilt or repaired by Arsenal No. 109 at Irkutsk at some point. The very small “H in a circle” (both on the lower right of the barrel shank and on the receiver) may represent another arsenal (or a repair depot) though the identity and location are currently unknown. Many Mosin rifles were repaired or rebuilt by different arsenals during their service lives, particularly during World War 2. Given the secretive nature of the Soviets, more than a few of the symbols found on their firearms remain unidentified even in the 21st century.
Unlike many Mosin-Nagant rifles and carbines that have been fired with corrosive primers, the bore of this M44 is in excellent shape. All visible metal parts have the correct Izhevsk “arrow in triangle” stamp. The bolt exhibits some rust, particularly on the bolt knob. The stock exhibits the usual wear and tear expected of a former Soviet Bloc rifle. The rear sling escutcheon is missing. A small crack on the lower left side of the fore end has been repaired. The butt plate and floor plate have been force-matched to the rifle. The lower butt plate screw was installed at an angle as shown in the pictures. The bluing remains in superb shape despite the abuse the carbine was subjected to over the course of its military service. The M44 was imported by C.A.I. so it does have import markings. Fortunately, this appears to be an earlier import with the small markings on the barrel. These are not as visually obnoxious as the larger markings found on later imports.
