Nice, you got a good deal. They're selling retail for almost $200. What factory was it produced?

I did! I have a 1956 version which is more of a carbine and a hunting rifle style, and I paid $200 for it.
It says "Molot-Oruzhie Ltd", in the city of Vyatskie Polyany, Russia. The date is 1943.
It also says Anaheim, CA below that, which I assume is due to the lend-lease and the US providing parts to the Soviets, who then made the weapons.

It looks like a 91/30 and not a M44, which was the carbine rifle. Also, if the date is 1943 then the rifle was produced in 1943 from that factory. The Anaheim, CA mark is there because it's an import mark. Molot-Oruzhie is based out of the Netherlands, so I suspect maybe they imported the rifle to CA. The Mosins made by the U.S. and Britain were never payed for by Russia, but they are highly sought-after. Yours is something I never heard of, and I know a lot about Mosins. x3 I personally have a 1939 Tula and a 1950-ish Type 53 Chinese Mosin. By the way, the 1956 is the import year I would guess. Russia switched over to producing SKSs in 1947-1949 (I think), when AKs started being made.

Oops, meant U.S. and I believe France.

Fun fact: during the Russian revolution people would saw the stocks and barrels off their mosins to about the size of a pistol. I think they were called obrezs

I saw one of those in a WW2 movie once, where partisans used them against German soldiers in close quarters.
If it hurts, it works!

Nice!

The rifle is beautiful! It sems to be in excellent condition. I wouldn't mind getting myself one heh. Though my one true love is the flintlock rifles that my ancestors used.

I was very surprised to find it in the condition it's in. The stock it pretty scratched up, but what was I to expect from a 72 year old rifle that very most likely saw action in the worst fighting in human history. The rest is working smoothly though, and that's what matters!
Got to love the old flintlocks! The weapon of choice for citizen and soldier for centuries. I would think you could find those still around, like a reproduction model

I'd rather not get a reproduction as those are normally only for display.

wow, soviet flag
in some rusdian yards, in small towns, still has same flags)

Yup, it's a nice historical thing to have, plus the World War 2 rifle.
I can imagine it still being flown in some areas in Russia. Reminds me of some yards here in rural America that fly both the Glasdon and Confederate flags.

The Nagant is a wonderfully accurate rifle... I have had the pleasure to shoot one and I was very impressed!

col next is AK 47?

Oh, it smells like history. It beautiful Recently I saw this flag hanging on a house in my city. :)

I love history! Getting ahold of these two was a great day :)
