Some Izhevsk M44 pics

[smores]

I've had mine for a couple weeks now. I never put any pics up! Below you will find various pics of the various stampings I have found and some comparisons against more modern Russian engineering

- yeah those are my feet. I'm not the best photographer

- new serial number after being re-arsenaled

- in front of magazine

- underside

- magazine floorplate, old serial number to the right, struck through; new one on left, electro-penciled.

- Izhevsk triangle, under the rear sight adjustment block (have to move elevation up to see this one)

- Izhevsk bow and arrow on rearmost portion of bolt assembly (cocking knob)

- Wood & Steel, meet Polymer, Steel, and a touch of Aluminum:

Very nice. I may just have to go pick an M44 up soon. Construction costs are really eating into my gun play money though.

Very nice finally found a reson to post some pics of my new one...if you dont mind.

One day I'll take some pics of the markings on mine and post them to see if someone knows what they mean.

I heard one of these at the range a little while back. LOUD! It made me want to go out and buy one but I never pick up the phone to do so. One day Ill regret it I'm sure, just like I regret not buying a few 59/66 SKS's when they were priced around $100 each.

If you have a C&R license, Century has a deal on M44's in Good Condition with cracked stocks that expires today, 5/31. Three for $147, plus shipping.

I'd take advantage of it but I'm tapped out right now after getting a 91/30 and another SKS.

I'll have to take some shots of my M38 and post 'em up. And yes, they are very loud.

They also breathe fire

I have a unfired 91/30 that I plan on breaking in at the range on the 10th. I will also be breaking in my unfired Enfield 2a so I can say it's been shot

I call mine the "Fireball".
