THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT I posted my "butchered" M44 the other day before it was complete. I got my mount in today and my project it complete! 
I polished everything up and the trigger now rocks and the bolt (while sloppy) glides without resistance. I have added a 2X scope on a S&K mount and I'm liking my results. I can't wait to get out to these range with this thing and see what it can do. EDIT: I took it to the range today (friday 6/8/12) I'm pretty happy with how it shoots, not so happy with how easy my targets are to shoot. I shot chinese made albanian (comes in a steel box with a pull tab) I also shot a box of winchester metric I had laying around which shot about the same size groups 
this is winchester metric at 25 yards 5 shots 
chinese made albanian at 100 yards 5 shots the grid is 1/2" squares 
this is chinese made albanian at 200 yards 10 shots (I threw one shot way off) I believe I could have done MUCH better if I had a better target because these are hard as hell to see at 200 
just a few more pics 
just for funsies a pic of my rifle plate from TheTargetMan that I thought I'd shoot up with a .22LR, .38, and 9mm there isn't even the tiniest blemish in the steel face. |

for the people against it you should be happy as the value of your unaltered mosin went up by 00,000,000.01 now grab the kids and tell them they're going to college.

IIRC, those scope mounts can work loose from recoil, so I'd be sure to throw some loc-tite on it.

the mount is an S&K
it's about the only scout mount that people say works, and it's not cheap. I picked it up from brownells. no idea on accuracy yet since I haven't shot it yet. |

None of my knobs on my mosins do that.... Mine does. The rest of the bolt is clean and shiny. I can not for the life of me get the handle to polish up. It stays a brown color I tried all kinds of polishes. |

Yep the S&K is on the top shelf of the no-gunsmithing mounts. That said you do need to use blue loctite.
I hope you put a quality optic on it or it won't last long. Mosins punish barrel mounted scopes severely. |

Not a matter of not being able to find it, I already had the M44 And no I can't put the bayo back on but I don't plan on selling it either so it shouldn't be an issue. |

You have about $200 into a $50 dollar rifle. Good thing it's only one rifle or your investing genius would rival that of a Madoff investor.

Not my cup of tea but OP has a rifle he likes, while some of the members here only have a .38 and a .22, and some have nothing at all except for a keyboard and a shoot sock in their basement bedroom.
