My new addiction is multi-cultural!

My new love and addiction for military rifle is on the edge of being out of control!
First it was the M1 Garand, then the Enfield.

Now I've gone Eastern European and bought a Izhevsk M44 at an auction today! The stock's not in great shape, but it looks like it'll be fun.

Now I just have to get the cosmoline out.

m44 are fun. Dont worry you will have bout 10 of them in know time if you get bit by the mosinitis after you fire the 44

What's that crater looking thing on the stock?? Also, nice gun! I've always wanted to have, or at least shoot, an M1 Garand :-).

I believe it's for a sling. The stocks bad, but not that bad! It's definitely not a collector but it's intact and I look forward to shooting it.

Now, where can I find ammo?

What is the date and arsenal?

1945 Izhevsk. I'm pretty sure it's not matching numbers but I haven't inspected it thoroughly - just a quick once over! I think the bolt has a different number, but is also Izhevsk.
