Hey guys I have a buddy who is wanting to sell a mosin and I had a few questions. He says it is a Polish full length m44 is there such a thing as this? I'm not sure right off cause all I have seen is carbine m44's. Thanks for any and all help much appreciated. Cheers!

Hungarian romanian and albanian 91/30s were made but i don't recall any polish other then the M44. If it is a M44 then it is a carbine length anyways. Can you get a picture of it and maybeof the barrel shank? That would help.

I might add here that the Romanian 91/30 is supposed to be made from the M44 stock with the bayo groove and then has a splice on it to bring the length up to the correct length. If it is one of these i would buy it. I have never seen one yet. A few of the guys here have the hungarian PU snioers but i'm not sure if anybody has a romanian 91/30

I would be very surprised if your friend's rifle is not a regular M-44. There is nothing wrong with a regular Polish M-44, and the Polish rifles are bringing high dollar on the auciton sites. There are some Polish M-44s that appear to have been unissued, now that would be a great find, an I would swap a 55 gallon drum of regular 87 proof gasoline for one.

I'm hopeing when he gets off work he is gonna send me some pics of it. At first when he mentioned it to me I thought hell yes I can finally get me a carbine and he then told me it was a full length rifle my excitement died down a little. So as soon as I get the pics i'll post em up for you guys he told me it is marked on the reciever m44. Cheers!
Forgot he also told me it was a 1952 or 54 he would have to look.

I have a pair of them Brad, both 1952, non-matching rifles and recently gave a third one to my son. I would really like to have one of the "new'" all matching ones though. The only M-44 that is eluding me is a Hungarian...... I was going to bid one one on GB, but it went ballistic. (or what I consider ballistic) I just don't want to pay over $200.00 for an M-44, unless it is
really special, like a Tula Hex, SA. For that one I would pay $201.00!!!

WEll i still have the one and you are welcome to it but i have to afford it so i am a tryin for you. I can't believe the non Russian pile i have run into lately. It seems they are plentiful here now. I would like a couple of other russians but i am unwilling to pay over 200 either.

It don't bother me, I think it's a perfectly lovely Polish M44 carbine, unissued I see, just like the one I have
