Re: 1946 Izhevsk M44: Unissued Condition.
Stock has been sanded as the original buttstock marks have been mostly removed. Handguard has a crack in it that's been repaired with three dowels "cross stitches" which is very Romanian trait. The buttplate has been ground/sanded in the area of the old S/N and renumbered with matching SN that has different font. It does look to be un-reissued and it's a very old import

Ok so that is a repair on the hand gaurd? I though so but wasn't sure. I guess that answers it then. Clearly a refurb. Thank you.

Yes. You have to remember that Romanian, like Czech, Poland etc weren't part of the Soviet Union just one of the satellite states under the communist spell. While they all refurbished mosins, the satellite states each had their own unique way of doing it that different for the way it was done in USSR or the other satellite states.

Very interesting history details here then. I had no idea of these details when I bought it. All I knew was that it was in unissued condition and really didn't know all of that other stuff applied. It's much more exciting to me now. Thank you.

I really like this one and would have jumped on it also. A real eye catcher. Congrats! Did you mention how the bore is?
Re: 1946 Izhevsk M44: Unissued Condition.
The bore appears to be brand new.

Hard to beat fireballs and a shoulder thumping carbine.
