Polish Radom M-44 Mosin Nagant Carbine

This video shows my Polish M-44 Mosin Nagant carbine manufactured in 1953 by the polish Radom arms factory. It is chambered for the standard 7.62x54R round. This carbine is basically the same as a late production Soviet M-44, except that the quality of fit and finish is superior, approaching that of a quality sporting rifle. As you can see by the almost perfect condition, this particular example was in "unissued" condition. It is believed that these weapons were made on former Soviet/Russian equipment as they were produced a few years after the Soviet Union ceased production of the M-44.

Music is "Mazurek Dąbrowskiego", the Polish national anthem.

I Like the vid, very nice condition. I just ID my Dad’s 1953 Polish M 44 for him last night (he inherited it and had no idea what it was). The only mystery now is what it is chambered for. My first reaction was the 7.62 X 54 R however I have read that some of these gun’s may have been chambered in a larger 7.92 X 57 Mauser cartridge. Is this true or were all Polish M 44 carbines chambered in 7.62 X 54 R originally?

Thanks,

@joey3847 No need to worry about the caliber as these were all chambered for the e 7.62x54R round. Polish 7.92x57 rifles were of the Mauser pattern.

How's the accuracy of your M44 with milsurp,commercial and hanloaded ammo?

Thanks!

@The762x39mm Pretty decent accuracy as the gun is in such good shape. I can't quote you any group sizes as it's been awhile since I shot it.

[The762x39mm]

The polish M44 are wonderful. Quality, fit and finish are purely superb! I have 2 unissued,unfired polish M44. I will use one but the other will remain unfired.

@The762x39mm They are surely the best looking Mosin Nagant. I wish I had bought a few extra myself when they were commonly avaliable.

Poland started production of AK47 in 1957 while Mosin's still remained a important element of USSR inventory even in 60's and 70's.

@314299 Absolutley!.. They are as nice a piece as was ever issued to any troops. The Poles seemed to have put more "love" in to these than the Russians did.

The are fine shooters as well (If you can deal with a healthy "kick"!) I Know a lot of people are into '98 Mausers, But Mosin-Nagants and Lee-Enfields are my favorite military bolt actions!

@314299

And without making extra holes i'd prefer, its my dads gun..

It's fun to shoot, maybe i'll do as you say, thank you, i shall start researching silicone stuff

@fromfin90 Get yourself a slip-on rubber recoil pad, those things do wonders in making recoil tolerable.

My dad has this gun, polish carbine M44

Only problem is, i am not that used to shooting(i'm 21, not been in the army, got freed since my hearing(deaf on one ear) and allergy(food))

It hurts my shoulder, i have barely any fat.

I don't know if i should start shooting more with it or start eating more(i've tried... doesn't help)

@jerseyslicker That was a good investment!
