Polish Mosin M44 Rifles

[ratherbefishin]

I recall seeing them for sale for $75...old Joe Gibault didn't have much use for them, said they weren't patch on a good 6.5x55 swede in terms of fit and finish ,accuracy or anything else( they were about the same price)
Would have been a good investment though

I owned more than a handful of those rifles.
They are very well made, fit and finish is the best of any Mosin Nagant.
Accuracy wise, they shoot as well or better as any Milsurp in new condition.

To "cainesy": to shoot any rifle accurately there is a saying: use a good rifle, and shoot the best possible ammo in it.

IMO these rifles are way better than the rattly Finish Mosins with their ugly fence post wood.

In 1983 I bought a Polish M44 from Lebarons for$ 29.99. Awesome rifle .
Made a killing selling it for $ 65.00

So what?

In 1983 you could buy a single family home for $60,000 in Toronto, today it will be closer to $1,000,000 for the same.

Did not mean to upset anybody , just reminiscing about quality rifles at cheap priices.

Bought two from S.I.R. In the early 2000's for $99 plus tax and shipping. Total:$136. Both were a little rough cosmetically, had some green paint specks on the stocks, but shot pretty good. Wish I had bought a whole bunch more.

To each his own, but I respectfully disagree that any Polish M44 is better than an M39 in nice condition.

 

[ctmm]

I agree with Claven2. I have both and the M39 is more accurate

 

[rockport guy]

Has anyone seen any M 44 for sale in Canada?

Aye. There is no comparisson.
