| Someone mentioned that a website was selling 20 M44's for $49.95 each. Anyone know where to find these? |
|
they do exist, but might be sold out not sure where from tho, sorry! www.theboxotruth.com/docs/edu60.htm |

I have two that shoot 3" @ 100y and 6" @ 200y (sights only go down to 200M, so hold 4-6" low at 100y)..... great "truck/Jeep" guns! If I run out of ammo, I can still execute a vertical or horizontal butt stroke series with their bayonets! A 100 rds. of Privi brass ($39), a pound of 2400 ($17) & a Lee 180 gr. .312" bullet mould ($18), will keep you shooting a long time at about .06 cents a round in components. Designed in 1891 as a black powder cartridge, 7.62X54R is the longest serving military cartridge in the world... |
I know where you are coming from (2+ years ago was the heyday for cheap x54R ammo), but I would hardly rate it as cost prohibitive, esp for surplus ball ammo, for stocking up for emergency prep purposes... |
Don't forget to thank NATO for this.
