I am trying to determine what to call my Mosin Nagant carbine. Made in 1895, with a hex recvr, Tula shank markings, and a laminated stock. I read that hex receivers came after 1930. And I also read that the M38 was made after 1939. Four serial numbers match: receiver, magazine, butt plate and bolt.
Your help is appreciated

It looks like a M91/38 to me. Could you post a picture of the markings on the barrel in front of the receiver?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Hex receivers were phased out in 1935-36.

Re: Confused about my MN 1895 carbine
Thanks for the quick responses. Yes the serial number on the bolt is electro-penciled. And I've attached a photo of the shank markings.
Again thanks.
