I was asked to post photos of the M44 I bought.
I bought it from Bertfish. I'm not sure if this was part of the Yellowsled collection or not. Someone used it for hunting (not Bertfish) so I have to clean some tape adhesive from the stock.
It's a '48 Izhevsk which seems to be dirt common and not so much a collectible but I like the carbine length, the wood and the markings. I wanted a shooter more than a collectible.
I'm going to buy an accurizing kit from this place: https://www.milsurpaccuracyinc.com/shop
I'm going to embark on the journey of tuning this thing to make it as accurate as possible while making as few aesthetic changes as possible. I would be interested in getting some help from a local "Mosin Whisperer."
I put 10 rounds through it yesterday (non-corrosive). My observations:
The trigger pull is a mile long. I exhale and sqeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze for what seems like an eternity!
I shot at 25 yards using a target that simulated something longer distance (but I forget how far). It shoots quite high and to the left. I was able to walk it down and over and achieve a decent grouping.
The muzzle flash is um...not subtle. I like that. Not very discreet for sniping though, lol.
