You'll want to know if your M-44 is all matching or not. All the #'s on the reciever, bolt body , floorplate and buttplate should match. If not start deducting $$ from the price.
You'll also want to know if it's Russian, Polish, Romanian, or Hungarian.

You pull the bolt by first clearing the weapon, open the bolt, pull trigger and hold while withdrawing the bolt body from the reciever.

They have a 5 rnd box mag. You can charge one at a time by hand or with 5 rnd. strippers.

I have a Pole and a Russian, all matching #'s. I'm going to try and find the other two to round out my M-44 collection.
They are a great, inexpensive to buy/shoot, ass-kicking boltgun.
