Fresh out of the box!
1944 Tula M44 I gave it a quick wipedown, But, It looks like I have a little work ahead of me.
I opened the 91/30, Just to see if everything was OK, But I didn't take any pic's, Its going to be a gift to my brother for Christmas.
I also cut the shipping bands off the ammo to have a look inside, Not really much to see till I open a spam can.
Looks to be in quite good shape!Will You be leaving on the shellac?I'm considering stripping it off My stock because I think it was added during overhaul,but I'm not quite sure about original finish.

I was going to leave the shellack on, I was basically going to clean all the cosmo off and see how it shoots.

More info than you can read in one day. Here in Alabama the price range on the M44 is from $85.00 to $250.00 depending on country of mfg., condition, and how bad you want it. The first spam ammo can I tried to open, well it was like a monkey humping a football until I got the hang of it. These rifles are fun and cheep to shoot.
Hope all my BT Brothers have a great Christmas!

Thanks, I have been a member of the 7.62 forum for a couple of years.
I had a good time opening my first spam can as well, Luckily I have the can opener.
Have fun
I hate to admit it, but I bought a 91/30 from Buds and that thing will outshoot damn near everything in my safe, I mean the think is a tack-driver. I can barely get my Garands on paper at 100 but I was shooting 6" groups with this $79 rifle. Oh the irony.
Something is wrong with Your Garands,at the very least They should do 6 inches!Perhaps it is You?

You should slug the barrel on the MN's as the Soviets weren't too fussy about things like specs and dimensions. I've heard a lot measure out to .310 and if that's the case will benefit from .303 handloads. Sort of like a Russian Enfield you might say.
