I wish I had bought several mags when I got the rifles I have. I bought two of the CMP "incomplete" M44US rifles, and must have gotten them out of the very last batch. One is a fantastic shooter that I scoped with a Havlins mount glued on with Black Max from Loctite. No drilling needed. I haven't messed with the other one. I need a front sight to match the peep sight I got from Havlins.

Good luck on finding a magazine.
