M44

[xxG3xx]

so im new to c&r and i am interested in the M44. i would be getting it at big 5...my question is would i be taking it home that day (because its 50 + years old) or would i have to do the 10 day?

[Spiggy]

you get to wait the 10 glorious days plus 1 because Big-5 doesnt know how to count to 10 days

In CA, if you are buying a C&R rifle from a FFL01 dealer, you have to fill in the DROS paperwork and wait 10 days, whether you have a C&R license or not.

Yes, I forgot Big 5 has the 11 day wait - just to be extra safe. It gives you an extra day to calm down if you had intended to purchase a M44 for the purposes of a crime of passion.

yuck 11 days it was hell waitin for my mossy and my savage.

Actually the associates say it's better to wait 11 days that way there is no confusion. You can actually go get it after 10 days, but it has to be exactly ten 24 hour periods if you do go. For instance, if you bought the rifle at 12 noon on the 10th you would to wait until 12 noon or later on the 20th to get the rifle. I'm sure you already know this, but if you don't than now you do! haha

I got my M91/30 on the 10th day with no issues from Big5. I actually got it like 2 hours earlier than the time I originally purchased it at. It most likely varies per store.

Yeah, I get mine in 10 days at the one near my house. M44 are a hell of a lot of fun, I'll be picking up another one when I have the money.

Just order one from AIM and you'll have it in about 5 days, probably cheaper too.

As you already have a M44, perhaps you should look at picking up a M38. It is predecessor to the the M44, similiar but without the folding bayonet.

Here's a picture of my $74.00, Big 5, 1944 M38. It is one of my most accurate C&R rifles.

interesting bolt thaiboy. did you add that on or did it come from big5 like that?

[hybridatsun350]

I put one of those bolts on my M44, and it makes the gun so much nicer to shoot. The whole action just feels better! I got mine on ebay and it's not original, but neither was the electro penciled bolt that came on the gun!
