There's about a 3" difference at 50 yards between the bayonet being folded vs. being extended. I knew all about the recoil on Enfield 'Jungle Carbines' and figured the 44 Nagant carbine would be as bad (or worse, given it's rough Russian heritage). I was surprised, it behaved very well.
Not an Enfield ... actually a ???

Yes, its a Hungarian in 7.62x54R, -- 02 was the Hungarian Code number, and not a whole lot of them around.
I managed to get a Hungarian and a Polish, Ciricle 11, both for $99.95 a few years ago from S.I.R. , when they were having a sell, before they were taken over by Calbela,s. Thats a Nice Rifle, IMagius !! --- a Keeper for Sure !! ------and sure as Hell , a far cry from any kind of Enfield, --- What a Bloody Joke, that registry is !!! -----
I ordered a Hungarian, from SIR. Guess they didn't think I'd notice and sent me a Polack.
Still a nice rifle. Grizz

its a mosin nagant m44 carbine 7.62x54r why its registered as a enfield has me stumped
Thanks for all the info on my Lee Nagant
I do reoad for my other rifles, but I don't have dies for this one yet. Any recommendations of factory ammo to run through it that has decent brass for reloading? Not a huge fan of milsurp ammo - mainly because you normally have to buy huge amounts of it, and in my experience, it's marginal at best for reloading, and I doubt I'll shoot more than a hundred or so rounds a years with this gun. I figure two or three boxes will be enough to last me a fair while. You can only get so much saddle time with each horse when your stable is as full as mine.

I like Privi ammo for them and the brass is great for reloading. A M-44 was the cause of one of my more memorable days as a RSO. A fellow brought one to the range and asked if he could shoot it with the bayonet fixed. I could not contain myself and went:
FIX BAYONETS!!!
BTW Shooting those things in low light is truly impressive

My read is the previous owner had it verified as an Enfield and when he transferred it to himself he didn't bother correcting the CFC.
Pretty hard to verify as an Enfield, even with a sight unseen CFC verification.
Unless really inaccurate information is supplied. Garbage in, garbage out.
If an incorrectly registered firearm is transferred, someone has to confirm the inaccurate description.

Well, I got it before the Registry, so it was never registered before I owned it. When the Registry arrived, I had about 50 long guns to register. A dozen they couldn't/wouldn't verify by Stamping, Marks, Dimensions, etc.. so they have me take digital photos of them (with a tape measure beside for reference) and email those to someone. This was one of them that I had to photograph.
In the end, I spent 3 days on the phone with the CFC and their verifiiers, - literally waiting on the phone with the person as the email went through and they viewed the pics, then asked for a picture of a different area of the gun.
I don't know if they just got tired of all the hassles and headaches or what, but eventually this one was "verified" as an Enfield, no Model #. Just a non restricted, bolt action Enfield.
What can I say - I did my part, knew they had failed (even though I didn't know what the gun actually was then), but just didn't care enough at the time to tell them they were wrong.
Have you ever tried to correct the CFC. There are a couple of women who work there that have a clue, the rest not so much.
I have a rifle that they registered as a US RIFLE and they won't change it.. and I sat in a room when a guy tried to register a old single shot Stevens tip-up .22 pistol. I found it on the computer but it never gave what model it was. After 45 minutes of telling the lady the model she wanted to register it as was WRONG he just gave up. It is registered but the model number is completely wrong, however she knew best.
You really can't fix stupid.
