2 M44's and 1 M38, 1 m44 is sporterized, one of the 44's is Hungarian, considering converting the sporter to the m38 because of its weight.

I have a Mosin nagant 1891/30 bought at Big 5 sporting goods about a year ago for about $89 out the door, I think that it's a really great rifle moderate recoil, ammunition is always readily available and take down for cleaning is really easy overall a great gun.

I have 3 right now,(looking for more)
2 M44s 1 is Polish(oval 11), but it is on a Hungarian 02# stock.
The other is a pure Hungarian wore out barrel and all.
1 M38 It has been reworked but it shoots good.

It would seem that the transition to the full 91/30 specs took a few years. The only evidence left if the rear sight base on the barrel. If there is a gap beneath the back of the rear sight base, it originally had the Konovalov sight of the M91 and Dragoon.

FWIW, my '31 Tula is an ex-Dragoon.

BTW, are you going to the DesMoines gun show this weekend at the fair grounds? I can't make it. Got the rellies for the holiday and I have to save some cash for Xmas.

| I just got my first one.
I am new to the world of military surplus and just bought my very first MN i know that it was made in 1936from the date stamp. but unfortunately that is all i know. from the ID thread the rifle is either a 91/30 or it is a soviet dragoon. the thing i didnt understand was when you look at the rear sight leaf is it from the back or side? common sense tells me that it would be from the side which means it is a dragoon. also what does izzy and tula mean? and how do you figure out which it is?

so i have been looking at another site and now i understand what you mean by curved vs flat so mine is a "run of the mill" 91/30. one question on the receiver and stock as well there are 2 dozen or more inspection stamps can anyone tell me where to go to see what all of them mean?
thank you all.
