If it's an M44, it was manufactured in 1944 or later.

I own two Mosin Nagants currently and have shot many,

Buy some head space gauges -- No-Go & Go Gauges (Yankee Engineers made some nice / cheap coin-style gauges.) If you forgo the gauges, be conscious of any gas venting the action. A kaboom in a Mauser may be scary and cost you a rifle, but you likely won't be injured -- a Mosin nagant bolt through the face may cost you your life.

Have fun, be safe.

Headspace Info

and

Q: What is headspace and how is it checked?
A: Headspace is a given measurement from the face of the rifle bolt to a certain point of the cartridge. In the case of the 7.62×54R, and all rimmed cartridges, it is the front of the rim. Headspace is checked with gauges that are typically caliber specific. The gauges are inserted into the chamber and the bolt is closed on it. There are three gauges that can be used. The Go gauge; the bolt should fully close on this gauge. The No Go gauge; the bolt can start to close on this gauge but should not close fully. The Field gauge; this gauge is typically used by armorers in the field. It is actually larger in dimension than the No Go gauge, the bolt should not close on it, and during wartime, it is acceptable for field use.

Q: Why is headspace important?
A: If headspace is not correct, damage to the firearm and injury to the shooter is possible. Insufficient headspace can cause the bolt to be difficult or impossible to close. Excessive headspace can cause problems such as pierced or blown primers, sticky extraction and in extreme cases, a blown up gun.
