Yet another Mosin in the rack

[88E30M50]

Ok, now I'm starting to get a bit worried. Stopped by Wanamaker today, just to see if they had anything new in and ended up with a Hungarian M44. I already have an M38, 91/30 and M44. I am not even really crazy about the M44. Yet, I do like this one. It is one of the best M44's I have seen and has a really nice trigger action. This is a sickness and it's getting worse.

BTW, I just put a scout scope on the M38 and am hoping to sight it in on Sunday. I guess I'll just have to take the new one out for a test drive at the same time. Good thing Bradis has bulk surplus 7.62x54R. I may need to pick another can up.

Congrats on the new Mosin. Great shooter and a piece of history for $100 -$150 can't go wrong everybody needs at least one.

I may have to break down and get me one. Everyone else seems to have one but me...

You won't regreat it if you do. Might if you don't though

Careful about that, they travel in packs. Good luck only buying one and it not seemingly multiplying in your gun safe.

Be careful. They can be addictive. To be honest, I did not like mine the first time I shot it. I was much happier shooting the SKS, but now the SKS sits at home while the Mosin has all the fun. I just put a scope on the M38 this afternoon and for a total of under $200, have a decent scout rifle.

I'm not sure what I'll do with the new M44. I may swap the rear sight for a peep sight, but I don't know. All I know at this point is that I like it a bunch and can't wait to have some fun with it.

I started with one, just sold 3 and still have 12 left.

I think it's time for another group buy.
I bought another gun Cabinet and need to fill it.

Don't sweat it man I don't either

I dont have one yet but im going to have to get one. or 2 or 3 lol

Picked one up a few months ago. I just bought a ATI stock and scope mount kit. Hopefully I'll have it ready to roar next week. I have not shot it yet but everyone I know loves to shoot theirs. Hear they are quite accurate for the money.

91/30's are still relatively easy to get, but around here anyway M38 and 44's are tough to find. Even tougher finding a numbers matching one of any, and that's not been counterbored.

 

[88E30M50]

Bradis had a couple M44s and Wanamaker has at least two. As Southin said though, most are counterbored so take a flashlight and check the them out. I don't necessarily rule out a counterbored barrel, but will always looks for the best I can find. M38s are tough to find now though.

Nothing wrong with counterboring a barrel.
Actually a fix for a bad crown.

I own 7+ M38's and all are counterbored, Never seen one that wasn't.

Just picked up my first. Its a Tula 91/30 with matching numbers. All i can say is wow!! I think im hooked this thing is fun to shoot.
