The bracket is, indeed, attached permanently to the barrel. The bayo attaches to the bracket and is removable for servicing. If you don't have the bracket, are you sure it's an M44 and not an M38 (a 91/30 cut down to carbine length)? It would be unusual, to say the least, to lose the bayo off an M44 as they're meant to be permanently attached.
i have the lug there, just no bayonet or spring attachment thing so i found a website where i can buy the spring the thing that latches to the lug and the bayonet itself i was just wondering about the installation of it...is it just simple like attach screw here and fold? or what?

It is easily done. Keep in mind these were designed to be incredibly simple. Don't over think it or you are not the person they designed it for.
Exactly what he said....If you notice in this pic of one of my M44's that there is bracket that attaches to the barrel. You would have to find that and the bracket. But I would think that its probably soldered onto the barrel so might be kind of a pain to put one on it. Some of the others may chime in about it, if not PM 2cool9031 if its been done to a Mosin he has probably done it. Hope this helps
