Russian Mosin Nagant M44 Carbine Photos

M44 Carbines in a Soviet storage crate.  In most cases these carbines were stored by date.  It further seems that these carbines were exported to various nations also by date.  Below is another view of a storage crate.   The other Eastern European nations used like crates, as the author owns crates from Russian, Hungary, Romania, and Poland.  The color is the only difference in the crates.

A M44 with a post war grenade launcher added.  These are not a common find as the M44 was being phased out of service by the SKS soon after WW2. Opposite side of the same carbine showing the post war alterations.

 Top photo is of a laminate stocked M44 with a hex receiver.  The carbine is dated 1945.  Below that another rare hex receiver M44 carbine 1944 dated and made at Tula.
