1st mosin!

[knoxy]

Scored a pretty nice M44 on GB. My first mosin!

All matching #s. Bore looks clean. Bolt is a little tight, but there's still some cosmo oozing out of a few spots, so I've gotta get that cleaned up. Rails look minty. Not shot much, if at all. Bayo doesn't lock back and it's kinda floppy when extended. Probably gonna take it off unless i can tighten it up somehow.

anyways, here's some pics:



Now just gotta get a can of ammo and go make some fire balls!

Sweet....I'm waiting on mine to come in!

Awesome, I'm hoping to have an M44 soon!

looking at the picture the barrel looks very clean, good score,

Yes, I was very happy about that. I've been lucky on gunbroker so far. Spend way too much time on there throwing low bids on guns and getting lucky occasionally. I've gotten most of my C&R guns on there.

Do you have the correct collar on the bayonet? Some pics might help determine the sloppiness.

It appears not:


I was just reading up on how AIM shipped a bunch of these with incorrect bayonet collars. Looks like I need to find a bayo with notched collar.

Yes, you have a double-eared collar on a single-eared bayonet lug.

Here's a good link.

Cool. I enjoy shooting my Chinese Type 53 (copy of the M44) much more than my M91/30. I don't know why but I'm much more accurate with the T53. It makes a bigger fireball and the felt recoil is less as well. Just realized I haven't shot any 7.62x54r since the Pumpkin Blast in November. Gotta get on that.

Is that a 1947?

If so, the collar is correct for the year, but the lug is not. They used the single tooth lug on the early (43-late 45) m44s.

I tried searching a bit for a single ear collar but seems most vendors are sold out

Congrats - my first purchase I think when my C&R comes in

Hard to tell in the pic but its a 1944.

I just found a correctly collared bayo lurking on the gunboards classifieds. No place else that I checked had these.

Congrats. Nice looking gun!

I got my first Mosin in January (haven't fired it yet, though).

I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but it won't be your last. Very addictive those 7.62x54R firearms.

Ordered my first this evening - look forward to shooting it!

Got my 03FFL last week and just purchased a Mosin this afternoon. Now waiting for delivery! Gotta track down some ammo!!
