PBL, or anyone for that matter,
Qhat do you think of a Polish M44 that is not import marked for the US? The rifle looks almost unissued, has been fired, brought back to the US by a US serviceman back in the 1980's, has the German nitro proof mark with 7.62 Russ. stamped on the receiver, deep bluing, and lighter colored wood stock? He is asking 220.00 for it.
Not a bad price.
The Polish are the best of the M-44's. Many came to the US almost pristine with blond stocks and nicely blued metal....a much nicer looking M-44 than the usual crop of arsenal refinished, red shellacked, reblued guns.
About 2003-2004, they were selling for $180.00. Keep in mind that standard M44's went for $75 or so at the same time.
$220 is not bad at all if it's a nice example.
