akd said:3,670,000 m44's were produced by Izhevsk arsenal from 1943-1944, 50,000 of those in 1943 for field trials. To this you can add a small number manufactered by Tula in 1944. Over 3 million more were made in 1945. The post-1945 manufacture of Russian m44s totals less the 500,000 (this does not include similar clones manufactered in East Bloc countries and China).
Correct, but what you fail to mention is that the Izhevsk rifles are not hex. They are all round reiciever.
The Tula M44 with Hex reciever is extremely rare so I am hoping that this is not what the developers are moddeling. That is my whole beef.
Even Tula eventually started making round reciever Mosin Nagants IIRC.
Still I guess I should be happy that they are moddeling something that actually exitsted although rare, unlike the hex PU in the game currently that never existed at all.
The hex M38 is another fubar AFAIAC.
I have yet to get any confirmation that the M44 that we will get will actually be round reciever or not.
