Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Mausers and Military Rifles Russian M-44 Value

Hey there! Back in 2002 my then new Wifey & I bought my FIL a Russian M44 for Christmas. he passed recently and we are trying to get a value for the estate, can someone please help? This was purchased thru Century and bears their marks (dang-it). it is also dated 1945. Still has the bayonet as you can see, and he did purchase a second bolt body with longer handle (original is shown). Missing is the rear sight, he bought an S&K mount and mounted some cheap junk (NCStar) scope on it.. It is in 99% condition and fully matching, he only took it hunting a few times. Only 'wear' to speak of is the slip on rubber butt pad that "went gooey". You can see the line, but I think I can clean that off with no problem-o. Any idea what this handy little carbine is worth?



Thanks in advance for the info!!!

Back in the day these could be had for very little...but times changed.

Missing the sight will hurt.

Has the stock been refinished? I don't see the metal inserts in the rear sling slot.

I'd use sold prices on GB for pricing...these can be all over the map.

250-350
