Details on the M44 please.
I will post a updated pic of my collection, I've added a few since the last time I posted my collection.
Sorry for the late reply, I missed it.
The M44 is of 1945 vintage. It was purchased by my wife at a pawnshop for $180, it was a Christmas gift last year.
Functionally the gun is in good shape. However the "restoration artist" who had it before me removed ALL the bluing on the exposed metal. Judging by the depth of the scratches, he used 100 grit sand paper. The stock received a similar "treatment".
The bore and rifling is in good shape and it has not been counter-bored. At 75 yards I've managed 3 inch groups off a sand-bag rest.
