Let me guess...$25 at a yard sale....
 
That is in really nice shape, they are great shooters! I had a real nice one, but ultimately it didn't speak to me, so it went down the road...I wouldn't mind getting another one some time... |

I've had other 44 US examples but never a really nice one in full WW-2 contract trim. They were always later or refurbed examples. The only question I had about this one was the mag with the .22 short adapter in it. I don't think they were issued with it or if they were it was always removed. That said it looks exactly like some mags I already had so it might be original to the rifle. You just have to take it out to use .22 LR. |

Looks pretty nice. I've always wanted one. The only one I've come across was in pretty poor shape.

I have one that my grandfather had for years. I don't think it was the trainer. The blueing was degrading and my grandfather's name was etched in the bottom of the barrel. Since I don't plan to ever get rid of it, I'm making it my own by coating the barrel and action in order to protect the metal since I stripped the old blueing.
I can't find any aftermarket support, so I think I'll look into buying a stock blank and carving it out myself so I can refinish and keep the original parts for future use. |

There is only two types (that matter) of 44 US stocks.....Single and double cut. Most are double cut with a "step" where the rear sight is. Single cut stocks were made for Lyman rear sight but the secomd step can easily be made to fit the Mossberg S-100 rear sight. There are a few on eBay now. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Stock-USGI-milsurp-Mossberg-Model-44US-FREE-SHIPPING/112789576689?hash=item1a42c85bf1:g:E1EAAOSw3q5aaOlx |
