1945 Russian M44 Mosin-Nagant Carbine – Izhevsk Arsenal – CAI Import – Arsenal Refurb

Offered here is a Soviet Model 1944 (M44) Mosin-Nagant carbine manufactured in 1945 at the famed Izhevsk Arsenal. The M44 represents the final wartime evolution of the Mosin-Nagant series and features the distinctive side-folding cruciform bayonet integral to the design.

This example is dated 1945, placing production at the closing stages of World War II. Rifles produced during this period were either issued in the final months of the war or placed into post-war storage as the Soviet Union transitioned into the Cold War era.

Specifications:

• Model: M44 Mosin-Nagant Carbine
• Caliber: 7.62x54R
• Arsenal: Izhevsk (Arrow in Triangle)
• Date: 1945
• Folding attached bayonet
• CAI (Century Arms) import marked
• Arsenal refurbished configuration

Condition & Configuration

This rifle displays the typical characteristics of a Soviet post-war arsenal refurbishment:

• Matching serialized components (arsenal matched)
• Even military finish
• Clean metal surfaces
• Solid hardwood stock
• Clear 1945 Izhevsk markings

Like most imported M44 carbines, this rifle was refurbished and placed into long-term storage before being imported to the United States. The matching numbers appear consistent with arsenal rework practices common to Soviet refurbishment programs.

The rifle presents well with strong overall military character and remains an excellent representative example of the late-war Soviet carbine.
