The M44 Mosin-Nagant was produced by Russia and several satellite countries during and after WWII. The majority of these rifles were manufactured in Izhevsk from 1944 to 1948 and a small number at Tula in 1944 alone. Mine was produced in 1944 at the Izhevsk plant. This model is very similar to the M38 which was produced exclusively by Russia for non-combative personell. They added a permanent side folding cruciform bayonet and a slot was removed on the stock to allow the spike to close completely. Many that were imported were fitted with M38 stocks that were modified, which is less desirable by collectors. -R -- source link
