So you're a big fan of recoil and throwing a massive fireball every time you light off a round eh?
M44 in any condition is worth the money. Check with Collector's firearms in Pelham NH, they usually have an assload of Mosins of all varieties and flavors. Last time I bought one (2006) it cost me $75 and it was a Russian rearsenaled version with a laminated stock.

There were some at the Holbrook show yesterday. They are pretty plentiful, so you should be able to fine them at just about any show.
If you have a C&R license, there are on line dealers that will ship to you. Unfortunately, few will ship to MA, and there is a forum rule against divulging the names.

yeah i hear ya... can't give away the good names.
so the arsenal re finished is the one to go for then?
whats the deal with the ones that come packed in cosmolene (SP?) are those from the arsenal?
yeah who doesn't love recoil and fireballs? isn't that the reason we all do this?
not as good as the ol 45-70 but it'll have to do

I prefer to have an M44, 91/30, and any other version I can get my hands on. At least with the 91/30 you can bayonet someone from about 7 feet away.

Most of the Russians you'll find have been rearsenaled. there will be a square box with a line diagonally through it if it has been rearsenaled.
Providing you can find one, I'd drop the extra cash on a Finn Mosin.

But it makes an awesome tent peg, tent pole, makeshift oar, firewood, baseball bat, war club, and about 2000 other uses that I forget about now.

http://62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinHumor.htm Go there for a side by side by side comparison between the AR, AK, and Mosin. Oh yeah, check out the rest of that site too if you want to know ANYTHING about a Mosin.

yep. now go get one!
It's not easy to imagine a better purchase for the money. I never had a passion for bolt action rifles of any kind - let alone milsurps. Then on a whim, I spent $75.00 on one of the nicest M-44's I have ever seen. I mean, this rifle was cherry - absolutely beautiful. I am now officially hooked. I bought a 91/30 in the green members group buy and love it. However, my M-44 is absolutely my favorite. Buy, buy, buy! ![[cheers]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/018.gif "Cheers [cheers]")

Well, make with the pictures already for those of us who haven't seen it!
im sure its on its way out. it shoots a little funny, it always shoots low, its really weird. the sights on it dont have any damage at all on them.
im thinking about putting a AR stock on that bad boy. ray's going to send me a death threat for it

The dude hits what he's aiming at - even with his favorite Czech Silver Tip
Dench's M-44 is a work of art in it's own way and is the only bolt action rifle I've seen that was fixing to catch fire...

My last M44 was last cleaned in Berlin in 1945.
On a side note though, clean the cosmoline off the outside before ya shoot it first, liquid cosmoline BURNS.
Oh, and ask TeleMark what it's like to be between myself and MrTwigg when we both have M44s.

I think it's actually an M38, but same thing.
I'd love to do that to one of mine but I'm in a red town, so I doubt I'd get the signoff on a Form 1. I do plan to abuse my shooter M44, though, after seeing just how much it can take.
i had one but i didnt like the recoil and muzzle flash. call me what you will but my personal preference is long rifles not carbines.
