Officially introduced into service in 1944, it combined the compact dimensions of the earlier M38 carbine with a permanently attached side-folding cruciform bayonet, eliminating the need for a separate bayonet while improving battlefield readiness. Production continued into the immediate post-war years, making the M44 one of the final military developments of the Mosin-Nagant family before its gradual replacement by semi-automatic and intermediate-cartridge service rifles.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"721\" data-end=\"1129\"\u003eThis example was manufactured at the \u003cstrong data-start=\"758\" data-end=\"785\"\u003eIzhevsk Arsenal in 1944\u003c\/strong\u003e, as indicated by the barrel shank markings.
