Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The title of “brush gun” is not one bestowed upon any but the handiest of carbines. Whether made to brush gun specs to fill a market niche, or reconfigured from an existing service or stock hunting rifle, such guns are typically short in length, powerful enough to reliably take down medium-to-large sized game and rugged enough to be tossed behind a truck seat. Few rifles fill this niche more admirably than the Mosin-Nagant M44, a carbine-length warhorse of sturdy construction that fires the venerable 7.62x54R cartridge. The Mosin-Nagant M44 carbine is a derivative of Russia’s battle-tested 91/30 rifle, as the latter saw service in the hands of the Russian military from the 1890s through the Second World War. Through the gut-wrenching street-to-street urban combat of Stalingrad and other Soviet battles, the leadership saw the evolution of the battlefield from wide-open country to more confined city quarters, and as a result, recognized a need to adapt the primary service weapon to a shorter, handier platform.
Such was the genesis of the M44, which was developed in late 1943 to fit this specific need. Patterned after the existing M38 carbine but with the addition of a side-folding bayonet, the M44 was the first Russian carbine designed not for distribution to specialty/rear-echelon troops only, but to front line troops as well. Production of the M44 took place at both the Izhvesk and Tula armories (Tulas are stamped with a star on the receiver, Izhvesk guns feature the Soviet crest), though most of the rifles were manufactured at the former armory. Because of the re-utilization of resources at the end of the war, M44’s can be found with hardwood or laminate stocks, and with hexagonal or round receivers.
