Collectors Source M44 (arrival)

[fiddler]

Its easy to buff off the rust and re-blue the spots so it doesn't rust again. I'm sure it shoots fine. I've seen a lot worse shoot quite well at the range.

Bought on a whim, eh? I wonder how the financial advisor (read: wife) feels about that lol

That's pretty cool, the OP's carbine turned out pretty nice! I love surplus rifles, cleaning them up is half the fun!

Pretty cool! I was wondering what those would look like. Now you can put in on the EE for 400$

Don't the really nice Russian ones go for $400 at the store?

I was just kidding............although.....I suppose these are actually non-refurbs, so thats pretty cool if u ask me.

Looks like a good solid milsurp with lot's of character.

Nice.

Funny thing is the trigger on this thing is so nice. Lol.
A nice break after a clean steady pull.
Seems better than most my Mosins.

Yeah I got a 1933 hex 91/30 like that, they can be really nice rifles that is for sure so it's cool that you found yourself one.

Really am impressed with the accuracy and these rifles are built like tanks. I think the most "fragile" russian rifles are the SVT-40's and if they have one of the better thick stocks, they are pretty good rugged guns as well.

I like most firearms from Russia and eastern bloc regions, they just made and make good all around tough, reliable guns.

The M38 carbine is awesome, love the fireballs they throw, definitely like to punch you in the shoulder though haha but even with the steel butt plate it's still manageable.

Never fired or owned a M44 but I think they are cool with the bayonet.

Where can one buy a M38 or M44 ?

^^^Collectors Source may have some, TradeEx sometimes has some, they pop up on the EE every now and then. Just gotta keep the eyes open.

These guys have these cheapies again? Been looking for another surplus roulette project, that doesn't cost that much. Had fun the last time around.
