| How are the current Mosins that are here right now. I have not had one of these for about 4-5 years. I would like to pick one up, but I want one with a good bore. The last few I got from Aim, the bores were perfect. But that was before. The dark strong rifling scares me. |

Some of my best shooters (Finns) are dark frosted bores. |

I don't care how rough the gun looks outside, I want a nice bright bore. Most C&R stuff I go to a show or store and handpick for bore condition. Another poster is right, sometimes those worn bores shoot good. I have a Russian capture 98k that will shoot 2" groups at 100 yards. Bore is dark with very worn rifling. |

I picked up a M44 about three weeks ago that had a bore which might have been made last week more than 60+ years ago. I believe it was a current import based on who I purchased it from. |
| M44s shipments have pretty well dryed up as well as hex recivers and finnish and east block mosins, so if you see any of those for a reasonable price at a gun show you might want to pick them up. A bunch of t53s hit the market not to long ago which are almost identical to m44s they tend to show a lot or ware but are still reasonable shooters. The 91/30 round recivers are still pretty much identical to the same quality they have been since 4-5 years ago. Perwars and post wars tend to be better quality, when war time. Overall they still tend to be hit or miss, but at their price you can get a few and keep the one you like :) |
