I'm looking for a Mosin Nagant M38, or one of the other carbine length variants that doesn't have the bayonet attached.

I'm not much of a hunter, but want to have a rifle that will work for deer in the event that I ever decide to go. I have other Mosins but the 91/30 is way too long and heavy to carry around all day and the M44 needs to have the bayonet extended to be accurate at any serious distance.

I'm thinking the M38 is a good choice, it'll get the job done and is inexpensive enough that I won't regret buying it if I never end up taking up hunting.

I'm not looking for anything fancy. The stock rifle is all I need/want.

If anybody has one they'd be interested in selling in the Harrisburg/Lebanon/Lancaster/York area please let me know.

Thanks
