Import mark is crazy discreet, under the end of the barrel between the bayonet and front sight. Well done, importer!

Bolt doesn't match but it is a Russian bolt

Looks like they thought mine was too and then said ... Nope.

I guess they'll be a run in M44 cleaning rods.

I know, right

You know you can edit a post and add more pics to it instead of making multiple posts with one pic. Btw. First one cleaned up and passes a go and no go. There was some pitting on the magazine and bottom of barrel near Rx. Nothing bad where it counts.


Started soak on 2nd one. The Cosmo is very dense and not dripping away easily with heat.

Anyone know what this cartouche once was?

Cool stuff, hope they get another batch in!

I was super excited about my dirt cheap M44 until ...

until what?

 

[somd_mustangs]

I'm curious too, not being a rifle guy...

 

[Abulg1972]

Crack to the left of the tang.

in the wood?

 

[Abulg1972]

Yes, BUT the action screws were very loose. I've tightened then as tight as can be and am hoping that it won't get worse.

very common for action screws to be not fully tightened on surplus mosins.

Metal for 2nd M44 almost done. Bore is REALLY clean. Some pitting and rust again on the magazine but kroil soak overnight it almost all rubbed off easily.

Fire pin protrusion on one was over the limit with the lines lined up and flush. Turned in 1/2 turn and its fine now. Go No Go test on 2nd passed. Both of mine I broke all the way down including removing trigger spring/sear and such. Both looked like the Albanians worked on the trigger sear face but both still have typical mosin trigger pulls.

believe the diamond is a Soviet arsenal refurb mark but not 100% sure
