It's tough to get that mount off.

it's possible, just requires a lot of patience, and the right tools.

djenkins is right. If I remember correctly, the mount for the bayonet is integral to the front sight assembly. This means you have to drift out pin(s) that have been in place for 60+ years, then chop off the bayonet mount, then reattach the front sight. I don't remember the author, but there's a great book out there called The Poor Man's Scout Rifle and he details with illustrations what he had to do in order to remove the bayonet assembly. Good luck to you. It can be done, but isn't the easiest thing to do.

Reduced weight. With the bayonet off the rifle is noticeably lighter when shouldered. |

Usually your accuracy will diminish unless you readjust the sight when you remove the bayonet and mount. Heat it up with some mapp gas after you drive out the pins and it should come off, some times there is a bit of solder under them. I'll sell you a Bubbaized Hungarian M44 that they butchered a FAL FH and beat on it. its a little crooked but it works. They even removed the rear sight leaf. Everything except the stock (didn't have one) and the bolt (didn't have one) for what I paid, $50+ actual shipping to 03 or 01 FFL.

I wonder if that lighter weight will result in more felt recoil?<G>

yes it does, thats the difference in weight between an M38 and M44, about 2 pounds. The 91/30 and M44 are right about the same in recoil and weight from what I feel.
