Shooting my M44 for the first time

2nd no scope

No scope. Get good with your irons. And don't worry about bubba'ing your mosin, it's yours and you enjoy it.

The wood looks nice. To bad you sanded it. Your rifle is arsenal refurbished. Sorry. What you have done to it has now lost a bit of value. If there is to come a time that you want to sell it you won't get the going rate. Oh well. I can understand it being sentimental. Especially if a close family member gave it to you. GF's are here today and gone tomorrow unless you are getting married or she is a sugar mama. So, young man, tell us, are you?

Well, it was a yugo refurbished M44...You'll notice the 1.TRZ on the stock. It was an uncommon, plenty collectable rifle...

You are right! What a loss. I totally overlooked that. I'm glad he will enjoy it but, if people would only take the time and do some reading on these historic beauties instead of being ignorant. That just bugs the eff out of me. I'm done.

I know it is a 1945 Izhevsk Yugo refurb...i researched my rifle when i purchased it. I know me refinishing the stock devalued the price of the rifle, but I dont have any intention of selling it! Its too much fun of a rifle to sell! In my defense, the previous owner purchased it 10 years ago and didnt take care of it, hence i cleaned it up to make it more personal of a rifle. I think it looks great the way it is now, but thats just my opinion

I was thinking about bubbaing my t53 with this; what u think?

Since its a pistol scope, im guessing your going for a scout setup? Me personally, I dont know if that scope is any good. I would imagine you would want a decent scope...the Mosin does kick pretty good and so I dont know if a bad scope would get messed up from all the recoil haha.

Haven't thought about that! Hopefully there is warranty! Update us if you decide to go scoped!
