RE: 7.62x54R question
A M38 or M44 Mosin Nagant is the carbine length versions of the 91/30. The M44 has an attached bayonet so it would have to be removed
for hunting. The guns are heavy so an after market fiberglass stock would be the way to go. You also would think about replacing the battle sights
for something better. A scope mount is available for it.
