Ya Mosins do seem to multiply. I have 6 right now and am on the prowl for more. They are probally the most fun per dollar firearm out there.

I have the M44 just like yours, bought it at a gun=show in San Diego about 10 years ago. The 7.62 x 54 round it fires is hellishly powerful. Get some of the steel core yellow-tips. Very strong.

A bolt-action carbine with a powerful sniper round seems kinda odd, with the kick-butt bayonet and all. Not sure what good it would be in a battle, but it is definitely a nice piece of history.

Thats a great gun for clearing out the range when its crowded.

The muzzle blast makes it interesting...

Although its your first...it probably wont be your last...

Thanks for the comments

My friend at work got one 2 months ago and we have been shooting some 1950's Military Rounds through it. Now its my turn

I had a M44 about five years ago that I totally regret selling when I moved. It was a blast to shoot and could totally make an awesome deer gun back home. I will most likely pick one up again next time I see one in decent condition. It's nice because the milsurp ammo for it is still pretty cheap too!

The M44 is a great little gun

If it blows up in my face this Sunday I will take whats left and ship it to Stalingrad for disposal.

Local gun store is selling them for $99.95 with accessories.

I picked mine up for $89. I recently picked up a 91/30 for $59 with all the accessories along with it. You just cannot beat that price for good rifles.

You will have fun with that rifle! With some of the other comments here I feel like the poor-boy because I only have 2 Mosin-Nagants!

Awsome, Congrats! I've always wanted one of those. I guess I will have to make it happen now! Let us know how it shoots!
