I always liked the Mosin M38 carbine, probably why I seem to have so many of them. This one has been around before, but here it is again with new pics. 1945 Izhevsk M38, not an easy date to find. Typical red stock Ukrainian refurb with laminated stock and nicely stamped force matched numbers. The shellac is in very good condition, the bore is spotless and not counterbored and it is a good shooter. I don't know why I didn't put this one away, somehow it got forgotten behind the M39's .

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Love the way the 38's shoot

I would love to add 1945 to my M38 collection.

Like the '47 M44 it will come, how long you will wait is the question, I waited over 20 years for the GEW98 I was looking for.
