Hi there. I am the proud owner of an 1944 ishvesk M44. I was wondering if anyone can shed any light on this.... the stock seems perposly cut out to fit the folding bayonet. Maybe it's a cut down or adapted m38 stock? Has anyone seen this before? Thanks in advance. James

M44 stocks have a groove in the side where the bayonet lays.

Downsize the picture to at least 640x480 before trying to load it to the board.

All M-44 have a cutout place for the bayonet to fold into.

You are correct, in the sense that when the M44 was adopted, they just added the cut-out for the bayonet to the M38 stock.
