  1. Oh, yes. That M-44 Mosin-Nagant carbine is so dangerous.

    I’ll bet fewer than one person was murdered with one last year in the entire United States.

  2. He can stick that thing up his own butt, if he rolls that way…

    And I think my wife would love to help him with that…it’s her favorite rifle.

  3. Was it an M44 he picked up? I’ve not seen any pictures. Love the M44, I own 2… that must mean I have the potential to kill thousands huh?

  4. “Has Richard Daley lost his mind?”

    No, Rand, he hasn’t.

    You can’t lose something you never had.

    (Which also applies to the idiots who keep voting The Daley Dynasty™ into office.)

  5. In the hands of someone like Vasily Zaytsev the M44 could be dangerous, but I doubt the average street thug could put it to much use.

  6. Well its not like anybody living actually votes for Daley unless they are on the take. Even some dead people in Chicago are still on the take.

    And the cops keep selling guns to gang bangers in order to prove that gun control is needed. “See, we can’t control ourselves, you need to take away our ability to sell guns to gang bangers…”

  7. Chris, Zaytsev never used an M44 for sniper work. The M44 is a short barreled carbine version of the longer barreled M91/30 which Russian snipers used.

  8. Or he used the SAKO reworks like the M-39. I have a 91/30 and an M-39.

    Even an M-44 carbine is a longish weapon for a criminal. Rifles, assault or otherwise, despite the lies told by the grabbers predominately on the left, were never the criminals weapon of choice because nothing draws attention to yourself standing on a street corner in an urban area selling drugs like a three-foot rifle.

  9. And Cecil, the M-44 was not type classified until 1944. Finland was out of the war by then.

  10. I’ve read quite a bit about Zaytsev and can’t recall reading anything about his ever using anything other than a wholly Russian made M91/30.

    I’m aware of when the M44 entered service (hence the “44” in its designation, though a few were made in 1943) but I don’t know what that has to do with Finland?? I do have a 1939 M91/30 with Finnish “SA” markings, most likely captured by the Finns in the Winter War.

  11. The Finns rebarreled some of their captured weapons with domestic barrels. These tend to out-shoot the Russian/Soviet produced ones.
