1946 Mosin-Nagant rifle

Hi Folks, I'm not a gun collector at all, just a Flea Market owner who happened to acquire a 1946 Mosin-Nagant rifle. It's Russian, has the hammer-and-sickle emblem on it, the year 1946, and the number AK148. The rifle looks to be in good condition, oiled, well-cared for. Can anyone give me some help valuing this rifle? Thank y'all very much! - Bayou Girl

These M 44 carbines are being imported from Eastern Europe by the container load. They generally sell between $50 & $100.
My rifle doesn't look like that! Here is a picture. And by the way, the numbers on the rifle are AK148, not A148 (I typed it wrong in my first post).

That's not supposed to be a picture of your gun in rufe-snow's reply bayougirl. It's just a picture of a pistol that he leaves on his signature line.
Big 5 Sporting goods usually sells rifles like yours for about $79.95 - $89.95 in my area. They are common and cheap to buy.

I know your rifle doesn't look like that, thats a picture of my Test Eagle Luger. I use it as a signature. If your Carbine doesn't have a integral folding bayonet? It will be a Model 1938 Soviet Carbine. The good news is that a Model 1938 carbine with a 1946 date is not all that common. It would be worth more to a collector then a plain vanilla M 44 with a 46 date.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.
