[QUOTE="ronny, post: 2202680, member: 8853"] In the Mosin carbine world, there are four principle models; M38, M44, M91/38 and M91/59. I used to have one of each but, like so many other guns, one day up near Salinas, Lord, I let them slip away. 91/59's were cut down from standard 91/30's, for the most part. Similarly, 91/38's were cut down, primarily from 91's. 91/59's are often the best of the lot. I'm partial to the 91/38 cause there are so many surprises in the old rifles that gave them life. I've seen, or heard of, Remingtons, Westinghouses, Cossacks, Finn-marked and all kinds of other goodies. Many of the cut-downs, both 38's and 59's are in excellent shape. I'm guessing they were removed from storage warehouses and put through the cut-down process. This was back in the late 50's and 60's. [/QUOTE]
