I had several of each. still have 3 or 4. I bought them back when they were as low as $59 and ammo was under 10 cents a round delivered. Now things have changed. Still a cheap milsurp that is fun to shoot. worth having at least one. The M38s are hardest to find, especially with 38 wood. M44s are nice, but the bayo is a little stupid looking. The 91/30s are the least expensive, but they are about 9' long.
Generally, don't expect much. They were build by the millions and built fast and cheap. it's a solid bolt action rifle, that's about it. All the ammo is corrosive so don't be expecting to find any shiny bores. I have a few that I still want to sell if you are looking.
I have a M44 and a 91/30, both with rough bores (didn't get cleaned). I'd let the pair go cheap - $200 plus shipping

As the new owner of Sean's M44's I can say this .... they're really good rifles and will be passed along to my son. He loves the fact that they are so light. (He hasn't shot them yet so he is not quite familiar with Mr Recoil)
If Sean's selling, BUY THEM. Top notch to deal with.

Well, just found out today, I cannot by Seans rifles as they sold right after his ad, but now I have somethimng else to watch for....When strolling around the run tables? I favor m38 or m44 style..Recoil?? Better get thwe young man a rubber buttplate, They do pop pretty hard and if it hurts him much he will not like it, or might even quit trying to shoot them..I kow i hated the model 12 shotgun for it shaking my whole body when fired..OG.
Picked up my M-44 rifle..1945R russian in good condition, except the entire rifle has been buffed of the bluing..Strange, look with out bluing, the barrel looks to be in good shape, no backbore was requested...It was purchased with a small crack down the center of the upper handguard..Getting ready to steam the stock , I see a ton of grease hiding some pretty wood....some small pitts on the triggerguard..bayonnet looks like some wear..just think, this rifle might have made it to Berlin..?soon as i finish the stock, gonna crack that Romanian 149 fmj ammo thru it..
Still rubbing the stock at night while watching the swampboys, Last night started to cover the BLO , with some Hope's oil, the color is looking good..
