Here's my 1945 M44 with a 2X7X scout scope. Loves the old surplus Russian ball ammo. Target shows last 8 shots after sighting the scope at 100 yards.

Got Ammo? HaHa

I forget. It isn’t so without pics. She isn’t pretty but she sure is accurate, and LOUD. Actual M38 stock, no bayonet slot on side. And brass escutcheon. Did away with them to save time. This is a great site 7.62x54r.net

I'm glad to see y'all are getting some very respectable groups out of your Mosins.
I had a M44, 3 Tula hex 91/30s, and 3 Finnish M39s. The M39s were good shooters, but not as good as groups posted here. My friend has a PU sniper refurb that is similar to the one above. We couldn't get the scope to settle in, or it hates surplus ammo. There was a separate sniper round that maybe he needs, but I can't recall what that was called at this moment. Probably doesn't matter because there aren't any to buy.
I sold all of my Mosin rifles because I went through a transitional time in my life. Should have kept them because they bring a pretty penny now.
The one I really should have kept was the M39 B with the plumb colored barrel in like new condition. I may have been the first person to shoot that rifle.
Oh well, water under the bridge now.
It's a pleasure seeing the positive results here.

Mine cost me 15.00 when I got it.
