So is teh M38 basically an M44 without an attached bayo?

Nice rifles

Yes, the M38 was made because of complaints about the 91/30's length. It was made without provision for a bayonet. The M44 is basically identical except for the folding bayonet. The M38 is about 1 1/2 pounds lighter them the M44.

I feel like if i ever need info on an old bolt action military rile I'm going to ask swede. I wish my Mosin looked that good, hopefully when I'm finished rescuing her she will. I wanna buy another one now.

I know a little about Mausers, Mosin-Nagants, and Swiss rifles. Don't know much about American (except Krag), British, French, Italian or Japanese rifles. I do have a few reference books for identification purposes.
