RE: What gun is this?
 

it kinda looks like an m44 to me.

I'm guessing Mosin-Nagant. If it was American made, that's a really nice collector piece.

Its a mosin no doubt it just missing the forend.

RE: What gun is this?
 

Looks like a Mosin with the fore-stock cut down. The barrel seems too long for a model 44. If you can verify it's chamber to be either 7.62 X 54 or something else you can go from there with deciding how to proceed. Any reputable smith could do a chamber casting for you if you are planning on shooting it. That way you'll know the cartidge you're supposed to be sticking in it and also the condition of the chamber.

I have plans to bring it to the Gun DR. tomorrow.

RE: What gun is this?
 

It most certainly is not a M44, nor was it made in the USA.

Check out this link for more info on the Mosin's.

I have an m44 and the action and markings look just like my m44, but the rest of the rifle looks a lot different.

Thanks, fellas. This will stay in the family.
