A Beautifully preserved, completely numbers-matching Romanian M44 Mosin Nagant bolt-action carbine chambered in the powerful 7.62x54r cartridge. Produced at the famous Cugir Arsenal in 1955, this late Cold War carbine features the iconic side-folding cruciform spike bayonet mechanism. While Soviet M44s are incredibly common, Romanian variants were produced in far fewer numbers over a brief production window (1953–1955), making this a highly sought-after piece for military surplus collectors—especially given its matching status.

Condition Report:

Mechanical & Bore: Excellent functional condition. The action cycles cleanly, and the single-stage trigger breaks predictably. The bore is bright with strong, defined rifling throughout. The side-folding bayonet locks tightly into both the stowed and extended positions with no wobble.

Metal Finish: Exceptional deep factory bluing remains intact across the receiver, barrel, and magazine assembly. Showing only minor high-edge wear near the muzzle and bayonet lug from storage, it is entirely free of pitting or active corrosion.

Wood Stock: Original factory wood stock in solid surplus condition. It shows typical light dings, surface handling compressions, and superficial scratches from field carry, but features zero cracks or structural splits. The finish retains its rich color.

Matching Serial Numbers: 100% factory original and fully matching. Serial number EC2166 is clearly stamped and matching on the: Receiver Shank (alongside the Romanian "Arrow in Triangle" Cugir proof and 1955 date), Bolt Body, Magazine Floorplate and the Butt plate.
