Losing bayonets wasn’t the issue, it was simply the fact that the red army actually had the bayonet attached to their gun almost always. The M44 carbine model wanted to be compact so the folding bayonet was afded

[@ternarycode]

in addition, having the bayonet attached to the gun already lessens weight and clutter because that's one less knife to carry with you.

[@dylanhealy8126]

@@ternarycode That doesn’t make the weight just disappear…. You’re still carrying the weight of the bayonet

[@lynnkramer1211]

That bayonet simply meant that when the ammo ran out, you could pick one up from a dead comrade and keep killing until you found some ammo, maybe. Many time the Red Army went out with only every third man having a rifle. The others were expected to pick it up after the first was killed.

[@Lapshism]

@@lynnkramer1211 That never happened, this is just a stupid nonsense. Red Army suffered from ammo shortage in some situations in the first months of the war, but the main problem was the huge losses in people and heavy weapons caused by unexpected and highly aggressive attack. The small arms supply was never the problem in Red Army.

[@yuripotecknov5164]

My first firearm was a Mosin, picked two up with one of the sardine cans of ammo for $100. Still have it and it's still a blast at the range.

[@graymanprepper88]

This why the Mosin is still one of my favorite guns. The buttery smooth bolt, the devastating cartridge, and a beautiful gun. You just can't beat it. I'm sure you already know but the folding bayonet made for one less thing that the soldier had to carry. Plus your right it looks badass.

[@kendov288]

Yeah, BUT in order to get a buttery smooth bolt, you'd need to THOROUGHLY clean the gun from cosmoline, spend three hours polishing the bolt to remove all the machine marks, and most likely replace the recoil spring. Cartridge is great, especially Barnaul ammo or even Red Army stuff is pretty good. With the surplus ammo running dry and costing MORE than normal, modern-built ammo on Gunbroker, it more like a collector's item. It does wear on you if you shoot it a lot without a stand, and its heavy as shit, especially compared to modern day bolt actions.

The only other sniper who went over 300 was a German with a Mouser if I remember correctly, and he is behind dozens of Mosins. Just because we get some shot out rifl s full of cosmoline does not mean they are inherently bad. It's like ALL 40 or so record kills are done with Mosins.

[@Hellsong89]

Not only the rifle, but ammo as well. After Finnish independence leaving Russian forces left large amounts of 7.62x54R ammo that was tested and found wanting, so development was started to create improved ammo from that. Hence 7.62x53R round was developed with tighter tolerances to increase accuracy among other things. This had minus side that one really should not use 54R rounds in 53R rifle, unless lock shuts with out any excess force, but you can fire 53R from 54R rifle with out problems. This created few issues on the front, but Fins were easily able to utilize ammo "borrowed" from the neighbors by sending them to factories to be salvaged as materials reloaded into 53R cases and utilizing enemy rifles and in Finnish and Soviet Maxim machineguns. In the end it was total clusterfuck in the front and in reality there was more weapons than men to shoot them, but 53R did give advantage on long range shots.
