The only information I have about this rifle is that my Grandfather brought it back from the Korean War. I believe the only modification he made was to file off the hammer and sickle in order to be brought back.
I've heard from someone that believes it could be Czech, but that's all I've found so far.
It's a bubbad mosin. The wood on the barrel was also chopped down. Can you get a picture of the receiver on top?
Looks to be an early mosin nagant, an M91 judging by the iron sights, if that is the case then someone shortened the barrel. Also the stock doesn't normally look like that
Looks like a Mosin Nagant M44
The iron sights look like the M91's
You're right. It doesn't have the flip out bayonet that the 44s have either. It doesn't look long enough to be a 91, but that might just be the angle of the picture.
The barrel could have been modified but you're right it's way too short to be a normal 91
def not angle, this thing is tiny!
A cluster fuck. It’s got all the mosin years.
Bubba'd mosin
