Latest addition to my arsenal - M44 Nagant rifle Yep, bought her at a local gun show last weekend ~ ain't she a beauty ? Looks like brand new and probably stored most of its life. http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...skel/M44_b.jpg http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...M44_stock1.jpg http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...M44_stock2.jpg http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...4_receiver.jpg

Re: Latest addition to my arsenal - M44 Nagant rifle Mine's Russian but it does have a very nice pig-sticker bayonet ! Anyone know how to 'date' one of these because I'm certain the 1944 is just the year the model was introduced. It does have a 1944 lightly stamped on it along with some Russian symbols. I've very pleased with its appearance after seeing a lot of banged up ones at the show that looked like training rifles.........also got a small black pouch with tools and a small oil bottle too w/ a mini copy of an instruction manual.

Re: Latest addition to my arsenal - M44 Nagant rifle I`m green with envy here in NYC. I used to have an M44 bayo,it`s a great piece of metal,much better than the Chinese SKS spike,it begs to be installed inside a cane.

Re: Latest addition to my arsenal - M44 Nagant rifle :rolleyes_m: Welcome to the club...you have now contracted the dreaded disease Mosinitis...which is incurable by the way. :D:D:D Nice...very clean...congratulations,they are a blast to shoot. I have to keep buying Mosins because the current little Russian guys in the gun cabinet run out of things to talk about. I try to bring in a new friend every chance I get. Stir them up :>) Current Red Army: 2- M38's 4- M44's 6 -SKS's 2 -M91/59's All Russian...A mix of Tula and Izzy 7.62X54R Milsurp ammo is still somewhat reasonable in bulk. 7.62X39 ? Don't even ask :>) It's went ballistic ( pun intended ). There is no such thing as too many Mosins. :bear_w00t::D:bear_w00t:

Re: Latest addition to my arsenal - M44 Nagant rifle Nice pick-up. Cheap ammo, and it's the most successful sniper rifle in history.

The best round ever. These Nagants run a close second, lit bit of a shoulder bruisers they are.

Yeah, since we're talking about rounds here's a nice little pic comparison for others not familiar with 7.62 NATO....... From left to right we have a .45 ACP, a 7.62x39, and the BIG 7.62x54R.......just checkout the ball (slug) on the end of that behemoth. :bear_w00t: http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...Ammo_Types.jpg

Re: Latest addition to my arsenal - M44 Nagant rifle Very nice Dragon. I only have the one M-44 but am picking up a new M-39 Finn today. The milsurp ammo is still pretty cheap. Read up on how to deal with the corrosive salts from the primers, but it's no great shake. Got 800rds from J&G Sales for $80 plus shipping. Enjoy. RiverRat: I am jealous big time..... now where is my check book???

Re: Latest addition to my arsenal - M44 Nagant rifle I bought a case of these #20 rifles for $80 each three gun shows back. They are greased up and in the army green wooden storage case (they had four cases at the show). I threw in some desicant to be on the safe side and tucked them away. Also picked up thousands of rounds of Czeck ammo in the Tuna can boxes from a place called cheaper ammo or something like that on the internet. I only have #18 rifles left. I sold two of them for $120 each (which is what they generally go for around here). Love these rifles.

Re: Latest addition to my arsenal - M44 Nagant rifle I love the muzzle flash on these things....awe inspiring!

Re: Latest addition to my arsenal - M44 Nagant rifle Looks like a 1944 to me. The stock bolsters are brass instead of steel. Also on the top of the barrel extension will be a date. That will be the date the barrel was assembled on the rifle. I love old Mosins

Re: Latest addition to my arsenal - M44 Nagant rifle I love Mosins. My favorite Mosin website is here: http://7.62x54r.net/ Another really good one is here: http://russian-mosin-nagant.com/mambo/ Gunboards was excellent once upon a time but it's deteriorated terribly over the past year or so and is lame now. Runaway greed and ego do such things.

Re: Latest addition to my arsenal - M44 Nagant rifle Nice Avatar, Buff01.... I saw them in 90 or 91 with ND. Awesome show. To stay on topic - That rifle looks very similar to one my father has.

Re: Latest addition to my arsenal - M44 Nagant rifle word used to be the m39 Finnish were the best & most accurate.
