Mosin Nagant M38 Carbine, chambered in 7.62x54R. This is the version issued during most of World War 2, the M44 would not be fielded until the last six months of the war. Note slightly shorter barrel, lack of brass reinforcements in the Sling holes and lack of bayonet notch in the stock.

Mosin Nagant M44 Carbine, chambered in 7.62x54R, with attached side-folding bayonet. Note, slightly longer barrel ahead of the front sight to accomodate locking in the bayonet, brass reinforcements around the sling holes and an integral bayonet attached to the barrel.

The Mosin Nagant rifle was first issued in 1891 for the Imperial Russian Army. It is one of the longest serving bolt action rifles in history, being issued until the 1940s (and up to the 1960s in third world client nations of the USSR). The original M1891 rifle was updated in 1930, thus a new model was designated the M91/30, which was the most widely distributed bolt action rifle of the Red Army. There was a carbine version known as the M38 issued during World War 2, but these were more rare than the full length rifle. The M44 carbine was issued too late to see action in World War 2, except in the very last few months of the war and only saw battle in the hands of North Korean Soldiers in 1950-53 and in the hands of the Viet Cong and PAVN during the 1960s.

Note: It was also the first firearm to chamber the supreme champion of longest serving firearm calibers in history, the venerable 7.62x54R cartridge, which is still issued and used in armies to this day.

M39 Rifle

M39 Rifle - 7.62x54mmR

The M39 is a Finnish Copy of the Russian Mosin-Nagant Rifle. The First Models were captured Mosin-Nagants left over from the Winter Wars between them and the Soviet Union, while the later models were factory produced. The Main Way to tell a Real Mosin-Nagant and an M39 is that the Mosin-Nagants have straight grip stock and M39 has a curved semi-pistol grip stock.

NOTE: The parts of these rifles are NOT interchangable!

The M39 Rifle is used by the following actors in the following movies and television shows:
