Yeah, I think those M-44s have been sold out for a week.
It may sound crazy, but I paid nearly $300 for my 91/59. But for a Mosin with a shiny bore whose rifling I can see all the way to the end, yeah--it was kinda worth it to me.
I know 91/59 arent as common, so I dont actually know what they're worth--but with M-38s selling at around $250, maybe $275 wasnt bad.
