OT: Price Check: M44 Nagant
1944 Izhevsk M44
Condition... Well, I'm not sure how that works real well. there are 3 arsenal stock repairs (well done) shellac coming off (flaking off) in a few places. Metal looks real good (light rust freckles on bolt and one small area on the receiver) it has been counter bored but it looks like a top notch job. Rifling/bore is good. Lock up is good. Side fold bayonet attached. All matching serial numbers. Bayonet lug is "single ear" variety.
Any clue (ballpark estimate) would be helpful, thanks.

Re: OT: Price Check: M44 Nagant
In good condition it is worth about $150.The single ear bayonet lug was only on one or two years.Used to buy these for $39.Those days are long gone.Model 91/30 still hangs around $69 or so.If you REALLY want a good shooter get a Model 39.

The best place to go for a price check is Gunbroker or Guns America, or just google it and you might find one for sale on a forum that pops up.

Re: OT: Price Check: M44 Nagant
Looks like some pretty good comps can be found around the $150 range. I had seen one that looked like it was dragged behind a tank for the last year of the war a month ago and they wanted $125 for it. I bought a 91/30 for my son to use. That thing is in pristine condition (1928). Looks like it could have been made in 2008. This m44 is poor by comparison, but when I held that other m44 beater and kind of liked the length and thought if I could find one at a good price and better shape I'd pick one up for a truck gun if nothing else.
Re: OT: Price Check: M44 Nagant
Saw a couple M44's recently at a gun shop. They were taking the bayonets off and were scoping them prior to selling em. They make a better-looking sporter than you'd think.
Mine still has the bayonet on, and it's a heavy little beast. I will use the sling for sure when I carry that Nagant afield. The gun is so mean and ugly looking that... well, people will think I'm nuts to be carrying it around. Still, I like it.

Re: OT: Price Check: M44 Nagant
I had my M44 Mosin first and purchased it for $70 out the door at a pawn shop approx. 3-4 yrs ago. It is a 1953 Hungarian made M44. It is rough as a cob on the outside, however, it shoots a 5 shot cluster that is no bigger than 2 1/2" at 100 yrds. Earlier this year I purchased a 1926 91/30 Ex Dragoon with the Hex receiver for $99 at the PX here on post. It was also a rearsenalled piece that was still in cosmoline and was in excellent condition. I took it out and was pretty disappointed when I couldnt get groups better than 4". I ended up selling it at a Gun show for $125, although I was pretty disappointed when I passed the booth approx 1 hr later and he had my gun for sale for $240. It bascially all depends on your area.mklwhite wrote:Looks like some pretty good comps can be found around the $150 range.

Re: OT: Price Check: M44 Nagant
$75.00 to $125.00 seems to be the actual selling prices for a 1944 M44.
Re: OT: Price Check: M44 Nagant
Well I looked it over, prepared to make some points about some of the current sales, spoke about its condition he said "make and offer", I said "$40?", he said "sold". I'm happy.
Re: OT: Price Check: M44 Nagant
Not to hijack the thread but what bore diamiter do most of the 91/30s Run? I have read that they can be anyware from 308 to 312, I was thinking of getting a couple for my sons, but if I can't get decent bullets for reloading not sure I want to, I would like to be ablel to use spire points not full metal jackets.
Thanks
Terry
