It's chinese M44

jack007 · 04-19-2008, 10:01 PM

I don't how many of you remember me asking about the chinese m44? I went back to the gun shop and it's still there. I asked about it and it's chinese made . It has chrome a chrome , the stock is like new , the bolt is polished and smooth operating. The date stamped on it 1955. Has any one seen or heard of these. It looks real nice.

jack- Try scrolling a few inches down the mosin page and read marions post on this rifle, "Chinee Type 53" !!!! You should at least read the Front Page!

jack007 · 04-19-2008, 11:53 PM

Thanks Steve. I checked out the site.That is the rifle I was looking at today.

SwedeSteve · 04-20-2008, 12:11 AM

You better go buy it, RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jack007 · 04-20-2008, 12:15 AM

It's right next to a hex reciver finnish model. Whats a good price on either of them. Wich one should I get first

As I was pondering things on another thread... It occured to me that some of the 58,000 names enscribed on a granite wall in DC may have died at the muzzle of one of those ChiCom M44's.

Not sure I could own one, unless I knew it was captured and returned the favor.

That is a good point Geo.

Sorry but, Don't blame the guns, blame the person who uses them.

SwedeSteve · 04-20-2008, 12:51 AM

So you won't own a Mosin, because it shot who? A k98, because it could have killed a US GI? Come on! This is a point I have to take exception to! I know EXACTLY how you feel to a point! Every WWII rifle was held by a soldier protecting his country. Rifleman share no politics, son!

Geo I def understand your position. I am a nam vet and lost a few friends . As a relection on history I must tell you that the combat soldier on both sides was doing his job as he was trained and told to do .. It will probably take as many yrs for the stigma to go away as it did for WW2 ..
there is a lot of history that we can all learn from in the rifles we all collect ..
God bless our soldiers , saliors , marines and airmen that protect us every day as we did when we served

jack007 · 04-20-2008, 09:00 AM

If I can get only one wich one should I get. Also should each of them cost. 350-450

Geo M44 · 04-20-2008, 09:12 AM

Yeah. I know it's weird, but after visiting the VNM (5 days before 9/11) I've never been the same. For the same reason I will probably never buy a Mauser, or a Japanese rifle.

Just me.

well said!

SwedeSteve · 04-20-2008, 10:12 AM

I would buy the 53 first. But that's just me. As to cost, look on gunbroker to see what they are going for.

Geo M44 · 04-20-2008, 10:13 AM

Addendum...

As we discussed before I did two shots in WestPac, and talked to a lot of the guys that my ship supported in Danang... some made it, and some didn't.

Of my graduating class ('65) we had heavy losses (most of us were Army brats and going to war for ones country was not an option, it was our tradition and duty).

History? If you can pick up that rifle, and do not see an American GI in the sights/crosshairs...

... Like I said this whole thing just hit me as I was considering a ChiCom M53 as part of the collection. Bad vibes I guess. And again, just me.

Sorry to sidetrack the conversation guys.
