[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 2936753"] Moisin-Nagants are an interesting collecting culture and just because it's an M 44 is only the start the markings make the rifle. Several boards exist where elite and advanced collector's hang out and do your research. Things to find out is was the rifle a conversion of a different model, or a capture and reissue. For instance I know of Model 91 that was made for the Czars army, captured by the the German army WW1, issued to the Weimar Republic (proper proof marks and stock stamps) given to Finland by the Germans as military aid (pre WW2) and rebuilt 2 piece stock proper sling swivels (D stamps for heavy ball and proofs) and then captured by the Soviets and used by them ( appropriate proof and acceptance marks verified) which makes it somewhat of a rare/unusual specimen and is probably one of the stars of that particular collection. Then you have converted dragons and heavy wall receivers , later builds made on recycled American and French actions etc. Converted snipers PE, PEM,PU etc.... Do your research first and foremost you just might have a diamond in the rough. [/QUOTE]
