My First Milsurp - Polish M44 (LOTS OF PICTURES!)

[polaris]

It's a great rifle.
Where would you find one at that price?

6 months ago I bought a brandnew (old) one, same condition as the one posted for $250.

Some people have clearly more luck than others. Unfortunately I seem to be in the latter category... This one wasn't quite the steal, but I'm happy with what I paid.
So far all the guns I own pretty much qualify for "collectors" status and I don't mind paying a bit of the premium for top condition. It's not like I will be reselling it anytime soon.

What was the price tag?

What was the price tag?

It was high enough that I want to keep it pristine while I use my other rifles to bum around and practice marksmanship.
Does it makes sense to keep this one in the safe? It does to me...

Did you get the one from Italian Sporting Goods?

Very Nice! you don't see them in that kind of shape often!

Unless I am mistaken, this is rifle is chamberred for 7.62x54R - correct ? If so, it would make a terrific companion to my SVT. Without having doen too much research on the matter - which dealers stock these rifles ?

Damn, that is one fine looking rifle, I've always wanted an M44 for myself as well, just don't know what to look for, would definitely should the heck out of it.

That looks like a beauty. I also have a M44 made in 1955 and have brought it to the range a few times. You won’t be disappointed after firing this baby. It’s not hard to fire it once in a while and keep it clean.

Nice rifle. I was at a WWII shoot several years ago and one of the guys was shooting a Polish M44. I literally laughed out loud at the fire ball the surplus he was shooting made. A fun gun with history.
