Nice m44.
Ill be getting a t53 Saturday Chinese copy of the m44.
I can't wait to see the fire ball.

Springfield's Finest, in .44 Russian
funny how this just slipped thru with no comments.
The world has become a little sadder place when all the plastic wonderguns get all the ooohs and ahhhs and not one little ooooh for one of these highly sought after collector's guns.
sieveboy, let me know if you ever decide to sell it.

I have a 91/59 and when I shoot it with friends they are all very impressed by the flame. I figure even if I can't hit someone, I can scare them and give them third degree burns!

When you shoot it, don't forget that the M44 is sighted in and meant to be shot with the bayonet extended. Seriously, Kim du Toit did a test with his and found out that it was much more accurate with the bayonet extended. Sadly, he stopped blogging a few years back and his blog is no longer available so I can't link to the post.
I missed that one Pilgrim. Very nice indeed. There's a story in American Rifleman about a guy who traded a Colt Richards-Mason conversion for a top break after the war.
I shot it with and without the bayonet and didn't notice a big difference. Granted, I was shooting at 25 yards and getting used to shooting with open sights, so that was probably affecting my accuracy more than the bayonet. Eventually I'll try it at 50 and 100 yards and do a comparison between extended/not extended. Of course, for maximum awesomeness I will be shooting with bayonet extended most of the time!

Wow, I completely missed the post of the .44 Russian also, very nice acquisition. I'm looking to begin collecting antique s&w revolvers soon. I would love to find a 44 s&w russian at a good price. Congrats!

Well, I usually don't post here. most of my acquisitions end up in the Milsurp area. This one just did not seem to fit there ![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")
she is not new, but new to me. and makes me smile
It has been 20 YEARS since I gave up my last ride.. Kids, work, bills it just did not make sense. everytime I get on now , I say the same thing "what was I thinking? why did I wait so long to do this again?"
truly the most fun I have ever had with my clothes on...![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")

good question!
I just went looking for a leather jacket for the fall . They all advertise a built in gun pocket!!! what do they think of us bikers??
cold day in hell-- what do you have? and why aren't you riding it? I have had my bike license for 30 years. I never let it lapse even though I probably rode a bike 2 times in the last 20 years. I already put 500 miles on it in the last 2 weeks. not back for an old fat bald guy
