    You done great:thumbsup:. I was shocked to see all three still there when I was there earlier this evening. They were in way better than average shape and they weren't much more expensive than what you find online.

    just cleaned the bore. Maybe the best $200 I ever spent. This could be my new favorite rifle. And ... I could wear Gunzilla as cologne.

    Gunbroker. It is in a wartime stock. It is counterbored - so what? Everyone gets worked up over a counterbore for no good reason. I will buy all day long a firearm that is discounted because the seller thinks the counterbore makes it less valuable.

    I know it wasn't - I was just making a point that everyone poo poos counterbores. Obviously, I'd rather have a rifle with a great bore that hasn't been counterbored, but I'd rather have a counterbored rifle than a rifle that isn't but needs it. I think that some sellers end up low-balling a rifle because it's counterbored. On a Mauser or something, that's one thing - on a Russian MN, I'll take them all day.

    There's another one that looks very nice that's hovering right around the $200 mark, although there has been a lot of bidding activity and a day is left on the auction. It has an interesting stock because of its buttstock marking - I can't tell, it looks like it might have been refinished? I don't know enough about these rifles to know what a stock should look like.

    I love when sellers describe their MNs as being "vintage". This ain't Etsy . . .

    It's at $205 and with the $25 shipping that makes it $230 in your hands. It's on the bubble where I'd almost rather roll the dice with Wiedner's or go for a SOG laminate. It is nice that it's a 1945.

    What's the marking on the stock? Does the stock look altered?

    I can't make out the mark on the stock, but I've never seen it before. The stock does look really good like it may have been refinished. Hard to say. Could be original.

    1.TRZ Marking= Yugo Refurb M44

    I have a similar one. The Soviets supplied the Yugos with quite a few and they were imported several years ago.

    They were not refurbed in the manner of Soviet rebuilds and they have oil finished stocks and rear sights partially in the white.

    It'd be a nice grab for a Mosin-Nagant collection since they aren't as common as regular Soviet refurb M44s

    Heres, mine

    Ah, from 7.62x54Rnet:

    Yugoslavia A relatively large number of Soviet M44s have been imported to the US from Yugoslavia where they were refurbished at some time. These are distinctly different than the Soviet refurbished M44s with an oil finish on the stocks which are typically marked "1.TRZ". The buttplates are usually lined out and renumbered to match and the rear sight leafs are "in the white" at the elevation numbers.
