So this last Summer I got the Mil-surp bug and I got a M-44 and to be frank I LOVE IT!!!! it is old and handy and handy and shoots a great powerful round.

The week before Last my dad calls me with news that he got a M-44 too.

We talked about our M-44s and possiable modifications, he took his bayonet off and is looking at other options. I read the Jeff Cooper definition of the a Scout Rifle, and like the idea, and I have handeled ther Styer Scout, it is very sleek, handy, way cool, but EXPENSIVE.

I have read this article, http://www.surplusrifle.com/shooting...ifle/index.asp and it has some great ideas for modifications.

So now I ask you my fellow Yard dogs, Show me your modified Mosins or scouts. Show me your scope mounts, and feel free to share any other thoughts or pointers you may have.
