Thought I had one

Post by ttnc »

Responded to a post from a site out west and thought I might have nabbed a Russian M44. Post said all number match and were not force matched with a price of $150.00 Sent several messages and posts as well as emails and now the post is gone too. Oh well, I guess it was too good to be true. I do have my lgs checking with SOG. They tell me they do have the M44 in stock but of course I need to go thru my lgs for information and pricing. Hope he quotes me a good price since I have done all the work for him as well as bought a new pistol from him two months ago. :Drool1:

ttnc talk to your local gun shop guy and use your recent purchase as a haggle point, he might knock off a few bucks on his transfer fee. My lgs has transfer fee of $40, but I've received several rifles thru him and he knocks of a few $ now on the transfers he does for me.

I hope you can get in on one before they are gone. I saw they were $179 it said but it also said they were out of stock too. :D
Good luck :thumbsup:

Did not want to hear that!! One lgs has one in pretty fair shape for 199 the bolt # does not match but all the others do and the stock is a bit rough. Another has 3 but they are all rough looking stocks and they had a really rough 38 as well as several other rifles from the same era.

The M38 was the first Mosin to get scarce on the dealers shelves, I was still finding 91/59's fairly easily when I started having trouble finding M38's

I got a great deal on this rough one, but I would not take 5 times my money back right now.

Hey Popgun I am in North Carolina. I saw at least a dozen 91/30s at one pawn shop last week but I was wanting to find an M44. I am going to make a round today and see what they have that might be new.
