This 1947 Izhevsk M44 in 7.62x54R is a Soviet Mosin-Nagant bolt-action carbine with a 20.5" barrel and a permanently attached side-folding cruciform spike bayonet. Built at the Izhevsk Arsenal as a shorter, more maneuverable development of the Mosin-Nagant, the M44 entered service late in World War II, and this example was built in 1947, during the early postwar years.
