    Question Tula M38

    The fellow I got my hex receiver M44 came into a few more goodies one of which is a 1944 dated Tula M38. He also has 1943 dated M44's. He's looking for $250.00, U.S. for each. I'm liking the M38 and wondering if it's worth the investment. Whats your thoughts????-SDH

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    It's a very reasonable price for those guns, though some lucky people find them by chance on department store racks in the US for $80. Most guys are either not that patient, or not that lucky

    Tula didn't exactly make many M38's in 1944 as the M44 had already been adopted 1943 M44s were made in numbers of 50,000 or less. I imagine a few were lost to combat

    Claven 2 is right, however I do recall seing a picture of an M44 with the bayonet mount removed and called an M38....

    Oh yeah, here it is:

    Look at the pictures under the front sights, right next to "Sovieticon M91/38"

    Perhaps this one is a modified M44?

    That price sounds steep. Here is a link from one of my "I wish I could buy from" sites:

    Nope. M91/38's are all built on Imperial era M91's and dragoons, not on WW2 era M44's.
