Based on in depth look, this rifle appears unissued. The safety on the
bolt, after repeated use, should leave a mark (gouge) on the receiver,
and the mark is missing. The rifle has no signs of use (no scratches
or gouges).
The bayonet is cool too.
All I can say is wow.

I have a few mosin's and a few nagants.
The M44 is a beast, short and stubby, arsensal refinished.
A number of other M/N rifle types.
And three 1895 revolvers. One actually has a decent trigger believe it or not. I should
shoot one someday.
So far I have English, French, Swiss, German, American, Russian, and Yugoslavian military
firearms. Sure wish I had scored a bent bolt 6.5 Swede in the good days when they were
cheap and easy to obtain but I wasn't into collecting then.
I may have missed a country or two. Austrian, I have some straight pulls, almost forgot.
Forgot the two sporter type 99 arisaka's.
Nice collection!
