Mosin Nagants Carbines

[egor20]

CUBAN REDNECK stated about Mosin Nagant carbines on another thread, and I didn't wish to interrupt it.

My question is, were there Mosin Nagant carbines (I think they are M/44's) made for Cavalry troopers, and are they readily identifiable' ie: markings or stampings, if they even exist.

Thank You.

sounds strange to me but ya never know

Thanks seansean 1444

I have to quote you....
"but ya never know"

I've never heard of a Cavalry version, but I had to ask.

I Ride with an old Tula SKS, but if they issued a Cavalry M/44 one I'd love to own one.

The Mosin Nagant in different configurations was used by many Cavalry units but those that are identifiable as such usually cost a premium. The m38 would have been issued to cav so it does count.

I had an M38, for what it's worth. Basically just a cut down 91/30 without a bayonet.

Thank you very much telling me about the the M/38, I will look into them.

And thank you, chris in va

Thank's for your knowledge, I always know if I ask on this forum, someone knows

Not sure about the cavalry designation but I have a Hungarian M-44 thats easily recognizable becouse of the permanently attached folding bayonet. I also have a 91/59 carbine that is almost identical to the M-38 except for the scrubbed rifle sights instead of carbine sights.

The Reason I asked, is....A carbine Cavalry wouldn't have a bayonet. Thank for letting me know about the M/44

Thank you very much everyone.

I think I will be looking for a the Mosin Nagant M91/38 Carbine, not sure I like the bolt.

But I think I'll keep my Tula SKS as a saddle gun.

Thank you all for the information you gave given me about other Mosin's.

No. No. No.
The 91/38 is a cut-down rifle.

Look for an actual M38 Carbine. ...which was designed to be a carbine.
The better M38s are pre-war (1939/1940), or post-war (1946 - fairly rare). Oddly, there are more M38s available without import marks, than the more common M44. If you would prefer a rifle without import marks, take your time looking around. Through a ridiculous stroke of luck, I stumbled upon a post-war (1946) M38 with no import marks, priced as if it was a beat up M44. ...A golden egg fell into my lap.


If you want a little better quality and accuracy (at a slightly higher price), look for a Finnish M39.

I have an M38 that is just great. Built in 1943. I bastardized it by putting a monte carlo stock on it. I'm now looking for another one.

Anything you ever wanted to know about the Mosin Nagant. There are also photos of EVERY model produced.

Thank you FrankenMauser for instructing me on the difference, you can tell I'm new to Russian Bolt action guns

And also thank you tater134 for a most informative link, it helped with a lot of my questions.

Have a nice day everyone
