Thank you replying everyone. I bought the m44 from my dad. he bought it from a gunsmithing student. So i think it should be fine, ive shot it many times. I was just wondering if it would be possible to shoot a 39 ina 54. I didnt think you could. By the way whats the R in 54R mean anyway?

R-Russian.
Nope. The "R" in 7.62x54R means rimmed. The round is also known as the 7.62mm Russian.

And no, you should absolutely not attempt to shoot 7.62x39 Soviet in a Mosin Nagant. If you do, for you family's sake, make sure your health and life insurance is paid up.

Mike
