Three clean M44s

Post by pascucci »

I've posted these separately on a few occasions, but I figured they belong in a thread together. I was able to find an all matching example of each Eastern European M44 for $179 each a few years back and got them when I graduated from highschool. I still consider them to be among my favorites. They are some of the nicest I have seen for each nation, with nice Hungarian and Romanian examples drying up and Polish M44s going through the roof. I've been posting a lot of well used guns, so I decided I'd start the new year with some guns in closer to new condition.

Romanian, all matching and nearly pristine, but with flaking shellac:

Hungarian, as nice as many unissued Poles, odd for a Hungarian, also matching:

Polish, unissued with matching numbers:

Very Nice :thumbsup: Hard to come by matching and pristine examples of those EEURO M-44's. That was one of my early goals too. Now you need to find a pristine T-53 (not an easy task but can be done in time) and for good measure a 1-TRZ. There are also M-44's in pristine and new Czech stocks that are out there. I know, the 1-TRZ and the Czech stocked M-44's are technically Russian but nice to have examples. Mosinitis carbinitis lives here... :roll:

Really nice spread across the board on those M44's. I like the reaction I get firing them on an overcast/cloudy day at the range... the AR guys marvel at the fireball that lights up my stall AND theirs... ;^)

Nice bunch of m44s. I really like shooting the carbines. Fun weapons for sure. I had my brother over to the house a few weeks ago and I had to show him the fireball produced by the m44. He was impressed to say the least. You cant go wrong with a reasonably priced m44.
