Picked this up yesterday at my local gun show. Got a really good deal on it. Are the stocks on these usually this rough?

No, not the ones I have seen. But if it's a good shooter and you got it at a good price.... enjoy! You can't beat the price of 54R.
That's pretty rough and don't try to take the bayo off. It's actually arsenal tuned to shoot straight with it on. take it off and it will shoot way left.
libertytreecollectors.com has Russian M44 stocks sets.
Almost all the Polish M44 I have seen are either unissued or pretty close to it.
I have a '55 and recently sold a '53, I loved them both. The 55 really likes light bullets, 123g 310, the 53 did not. Great workmanship.try zhooting with the bayonet out, I have had to really adjust If not. The '55, 1.5 inch at 100 with my reloads.
This is so true. My son's actually shoots better with the bayonet extended than it does folded.Quote:

If you find yourself crowded at the range (many shooters and tables close together) touch off a few rounds down range and you will get some room.
I'll second this. Had mine out yesterday. Huge difference even with spam can stuff. Was getting 2-3" groups extended, shotgun pattern folded. Tighten your action screws and extend those pig stickers boys!!Quote:
