This one comes by way of a fellow Mosin Collector who offered it to me since he knew I collected different and odd 1944 Mosin Nagants. It’s a Refurbed 1944 Izhevsk M44 that was put into can only be described as a modified M38 stock. The barrel shank has been scrubbed somewhat and the “44” in the date restamped, but it is in a 44 reciever. The rifle is all Izhevsk parts except for the butt plate ( which is unmarked) and has a beautiful bore.
