i know that's true of the M44. and seeing as how the Russians were to always have the bayonet on and ready except for when traveling (which explains why it can be difficult to remove the bayonet) that would make sense for the 91/30.

although i have had very good accuracy without the bayonet on my 91/30 so i guess it can go either way
