This is an m38 in a m44 stock, most of the arsenal refinished m38s come with m44 stocks. the cut down 91/30 you speak of are called 91/59s i think.

Any how here is a link with a bunch of Mosin Nagant history and info.

I do agree My m44s shoot better than my m38s.

I also enjoy collecting and shooting Mosin Nagants. I own a 1915 marked Westinghouse model 1891. The troops that recived thes rifles did not care for them due to the tight tolerances. Because of the cold sibieran winter would stick to bolt, most Westinghouse Mosins foud thes day will have a Russian bolt.

The one in the photo is an M-38

Thanks for the comments, I did take more shots with differen't amounts of DOF but I had a problem with the roll of film not advancing didn't find out till I got the prints back. I agree would have been better withe more DOF.

Thanks again!

Just a test shot with a new oldie. I am very Happy with the

sharpness of this old rangefinder. (Best ten bucks ever!)
