on to the next one, bolt closes...goes bang.

The bayonets also add as an excellent potato picker...that’s why the M44's have a ram rod built in!!!!!

this was the first rifle my eleven year old has ever fired... i put my hand behind his shoulder just in case he took a spill.....My son is a bad dude. Start hard, finish hard,...he was complimented by the range master who said..." I've seen bigger men shoot poor with smaller rifles"...dad of the year award goes to me...I breed excellence.

can you blame me for being proud
P.S. he can also strip the rifle completly, down to the bolt complete breakdown(and then re-asemble)...thats hard to do for a little guy.

That sounds nice compared to the 203 gr. surplus stick powder...thank you sir!

You can buy modern made ammo that does not have the lacquer on the shells but it’s pricey. hey..it's a war rifle....kick open the bolt and get to work

I was given a Russian M44 from 1948 a while back and I love this rifle. Ammo is a little hard to find but it’s quit a kick to shoot (literally). It fires a 7.62x54r. They are very inexpensive right now (under $100). I got lucky and got one in excellent condition. It's defiantly not a must have but fun anyway, and it has turned me on to a whole new area of firearms history. Some early rare models can fetch a pretty penny as well. Mine has a fixed bayonet witch I found fires more accurate extended. I was hitting pretty close to center target at 100 yards. After about thirty rounds I knew I was going to be sore and sure enough when I got home I had a fresh strawberry on my shoulder. Next time I'll throw a towel over my shoulder, I hope no one looks at me funny for doing that.
