This video from Forgotten Weapons explores the Soviet "M44L", an experimental midlength Mosin Nagant rifle developed in 1944. Featuring a 24-inch barrel and an M44-style folding spike bayonet, it was intended to be a universal replacement for existing Mosin variants. The program was dropped after trials began post-WWII, and surviving examples were refurbished and distributed as military aid. This specific rifle was imported from Bulgaria by Century Arms and is marked as an "M44". The "M44L" designation is a collector term for this specific pattern.
