The M95 Steyr and M95/34 are still pretty cheap, considering their limited issue and relative scarcity on this side of the pond. Ammo is available, if you don't mind Nazi-marked ammo from 1934.

I have a 95/34 (major shoulder punisher!) and a bunch of ammo. Fun to shoot, but it's in the safe for a rainy day if the market would ever catch up.

Heh. Less than a decade ago, you could get 5 for a hundred. Three for a hundred was available less than 5 years ago.

I don't like Mosins all that much, but I wish I'd stocked up.

Mosin-Nagant: yet more evidence that James Paris Lee had it right when he made rifles that were cock-on-close.

My only M44 is a Polish Radom -- beeyootiful finish. The Poles and Czechs always had the best workmanship of the former Eastern Bloc countries.

I understand that M38s, which don't have a bayonet (nor even a lug) balance much better, but also recoil more harshly.

M44s are pussycats compared to my Steyr M95/34 in 8x56R. I've never had the nerve to shoot it from the bench, only offhand.

Good pig gun. Pig sticker included.
