46 m44 cleaned... Pictures!

[Vendetta]

So I got around to cleaning my m44 thoroughly today. Here are some pictures. From what I can tell its a nonrefurb, and definitely no import marks ANYWHERE. Maybe a Korea bring back? What do the experts think?

Just a little lemon oil. It looks great in the picture, but not nearly as nice in real life. Thank you though!!

..........I LOVE the M44's and M38's......they sure SOUND awesome at the range , produce wondrous 'pyro-tactics' and are quite accurate out to 75 yards . They are also a rifle I personally keep "close by". Easy to handle, easy to shoot. ......"just in case"

I agree! I am anxious to hear and see it vs to my Steyr M95... The steyr is a little lighter and shorter with more powder and bullet behind it... Should make for quite a display!

Awesome rifle. Love my M44 and our M38. Such a literal blast to shoot and gets a crowd behind us at the range.

nice one. Like the stock markings.

Thanks! It is not like my others... It seems Ivan went nuts with the Izhevsk stamp on this one. The only nonmatching part is the bolt (rings true for a bringback from what I have read, seperated bolts from rifles in piles, and trophy hunters got one from eacj pile to make a complete rifle) and even it has Izhevsk stamps on it.

Shot this thing yesterday, and I thought it had the worst bore of all of my milsurps, it came out looking like glass. All my others are nice dark bores, this one is a shiny mirror. I am stoked!

The bores can fool you until you get them cleaned up. Seen that over and over. Very nice carbine you have.

I was afraidvthat it was a bit sewer pipey until i got home and dumped some windex down it. I checked them all again today to make sure i wasnt getting corrosion and the carbine is still a mirror. :-)

Good deal. Now for some fun at the range before winter.

Ha! We had people stop shooting and gather behind us when my brother and I were touching off my Garand and Carbine together. It was pretty impressive from what I am told.

Some bad looking bores, do well. I have a few that look bad, but shoot well. I have a .22 that most would say is 'shot out', but it can still pull 1.5" at 50 yards.
