Russian m44 1945 Iveshek
This is my first M44 I bought it locally from a guy who bought it from century put them in his gun safe and never messed with it. I think it's never been refurbished I see no metal refurbishment marks and no stock refurbishment mark. The metal is a whole lot better shape then the wood. It definitely has the been there and done that look. It's all matching but the bolt is electro penciled in.

Nice one VKT I like that look, prolly seen some action some where. As for not ever being refurbed I would agree with you except for ep'd bolt, I believe those were done at some stage of re-furb. Some of the experts should come along shorty and let us know. Still a nice carbine

I have no idea what that could be and thank you!

Congrats on your first M44. Make some big BOOMS with it!
Most assuredly a refurbishment, even without the usual X or [/] marks. The electropenciled bolt, and the different font on the buttplate mean that they have been re-numbered to match the barrel number.
No less of a gun, though. Still makes a person feel good to hold some powerful history.

No words of wisdom come to mind at this time....

Yeah it does make some big booms. Shot it at 10 and there was a huge fireball it was awesome. We're some refurb given to other countries for aid rifles?

Yes. For the M44, Yugoslavia and Romania come to mind right away.

Thank you for helping. Is $175 a bad deal?
Re: Russian m44 1945 Iveshek
$175 is a good deal these usually go for $200 and up.

Could have been refurbished and then re-issued. I have a few like that that came right out of the crate from Russia. One is "beat to heck" worse that yours is, so naturally, I had to have it!
Nice looking M44 I think. That is closer to what they probably looked like at the end of the war.

Nothing wrong with that M44 that a few more rounds can't fix. I like the look.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
