My "new" $150 M44
My "new" $150 M44
My daughter was buying an M44 for her husband for Christmas. She had just bought it when a policeman in a nearby town had taken in an M44 in a trade deal. Since she had just bought her husbands gun she told me about this one. He determined it was worth about $150 and that is what he was asking. Met him at a halfway point and picked up the gun yesterday. I had just bought a Tula 91/30, but just couldn't turn this down. It is dated 1945 and included the sling, ammo pouch and 44 rounds of ammo. I hope I did ok. (not a Molot)

Very nice, and a way better deal than mine I just picked up.
Re: My "new" $150 M44
Indeed, a good deal for a good looking M44 with the goodies.
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

Re: My "new" $150 M44
You did very OK, a good hundred dollars off the current going rate for one in this condition.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

I paid more for just the rifle - no accessories, no ammo

Good looking carbine, I gave $235 OTD for what looks like a unissued 1948
a few weeks ago. It had no accessories and a reproduction sling on it. The
metal looks new but the stock has a repair on the toe splice. I thought I
did ok on it, you got a bargain.
