Won this last night on Auction arms for 145.00 and even with the high 40.00 shipping I think I'm way ahead .
With 6 bids I just dont understand why it didnt go fo more.
I have 6 Mosin carbines now , And I have 2 more coming to me now And this is my 1st Tula M44
Auctions are a strange thing. If the seller had listed it with free shipping it might have brought 300.00. People don't generally like to feel like they are being held hostage for shipping. One way or another they will compensate for it. Like you did here. Excellent winnings!

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

I am glad junkmanted won the M-44 but I gauantee it would have went well way over $200.00 if it had free shipping.Trust me on that--some of you guys here that sell on gunbroker list a gun that you don't care about and put free shipping and just see what happens.
Maybe it's just the white background but the stock kind of looks like it has been refinished? Easy fix & either way, it's still a great deal. Congrats!

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe that's why it sold for less, others thought the same. We will see when he gets it!
