===Romania=== [[File:Mosin Nagant md. 1891 Romanian 1930 carbine.png|thumb|upright=1.25|Model 1891 Romanian 1930s carbine conversion]] [[File:Romanian Mosin Nagant M44 carbine.png|thumb|upright=1.25|1954 [[Cugir Arms Factory|Cugir]]-produced M44 Mosin]] * Triangular shaped markings, some with an arrow inside, on many components of the rifle. Normally three "R"'s surrounded by crossed stalks with leaves pointing outwards are on the top of the breech. Year stamps are quite visible. The trigger assembly is unique in the Romanian 91/30 and is adjustable. It is not interchangeable with other Mosins. * '''1930s Carbine''': After the First World War, Romania captured a large number of Mosin-Nagants from Russia. Due to the need for more carbines, an order for 10.000 Mosin-Nagant carbine conversions was placed in the mid to late 1930s. The modifications added to the rifles included bent bolt handles, new rear sights, removal of the original muzzle, shortening of the barrel, as well as adding a metal housing to hold the bayonet. The carbines were kept in service after the Second World War as Romania became part of the [[Soviet bloc]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.forgottenweapons.com/romanian-1930s-mosin-carbine-conversion/|title=Romanian 1930s Mosin Carbine Conversion|author=Ian McCollum|work=[[Forgotten Weapons]]|date=4 October 2024}}</ref> * '''M44 Pattern''': Domestically produced version of post war pattern Soviet M44 Carbine during the years 1953 to 1955. Variances to the Soviet pattern produced minor differences. * '''Suppressed M44 Pattern''':<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rumaniamilitary.ro/carabina-model-1944 |title=Carbine model 1944 |website=Rumania Military.ro |access-date=28 November 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151208101526/http://www.rumaniamilitary.ro/carabina-model-1944 |archive-date=8 December 2015}}</ref> Domestically produced adaptation of the M44, with a long integral suppressor and an LPS 4×6° TIP2 telescopic sight, same as the one used on the [[PSL (rifle)|PSL]] rifle. Only a small number were modified, for use with the USLA – a very small counter-terrorism unit of the [[Securitate]] * '''M91/30 Pattern''': Domestically produced version Soviet pattern M91 during the year 1955. Some of the guns are marked "INSTRUCTIE" and held in reserve for a secondary line of defense in case of invasion. The Instructie mark is typically, but not always, accompanied by a broad red band on the buttstock. Some collectors do not consider these safe to fire, but most appear to be in good working order although well worn and somewhat neglected. The "EXERCITIU" mark is found on rifles that seem to have been used specifically for training purposes only. The "EXERCITIU" rifles are easily recognized by the black paint on the entire butt of the stock. They are not intended to be fired since the firing pin is clipped and many times parts critical to their proper function are missing.
