1/8/25 - For sale is a a nice Izhevsk M44 carbine made in 1944. This example shows the typical signs of Post WW2 refurbishment with a dark finish on the metal and the force matched parts. The stock is in good condition with the shellac finish flaking away. The rifle has matching numbers on the barrel shank, bolt, magazine floor, and buttpalte. The bore is fairly dark with a hint of brightness when shining a light. The rifling is still sharp. The import mark is on the left side of the receiver.
