Well I went and looked at the M44 today and ended up bringing it home. I got it for $240 which I don't think was too bad of a deal.

Maybe I can find a Hex or Tula in the mix there. Last time I looked I don't recall seeing anything other th...

Hey all, I've been doing some research on the Mosin Nagant rifles for the past few months. Now I'm thinking about buying one and I'm looking for some advice. I've got a couple of options in front of me: 1953 Chinese Type 53 Carbine - rifle looks to be in nice shape. Blueing, crown and rifling all go...
