10/29/24 - For sale is an Izhevsk M44 Mosin Nagant carbine made in 1946. The carbine has a very nice military blued finish that looks to have been lightly refurbished, unlike the typical M44 with the black enamel-like finish and shellaced stock. The carbine is matching on the receiver, bolt, buttplate, and magazine floor. The bayonet locks up tightly. The bore is fairly bright but is starting to darken. There is an import mark on the right side of the receiver.
