Some M44 fun at the range

[littletommy]

Heres a vid of my trip to the range Thursday morning. All I took with me was the M44, my Draco (video elsewhere on INGO) and my EDC taurus PT 745. Each time I fire the M44, the more I LOVE IT!!! Notice the second fireball, it appears below the muzzle.

Yeah, those M44 are fun to shoot, & you won't cry if you marred the stock

It had a few dings in it when I got it, but it has a gorgeous finish on it, almost 3D looking grain. I would probably cry if I gouged it.

I take my M44 in the woods, I keep it in a rifle sock, inside my closet. & If I was going to take a rifle on my ATV, it would be the M44

I love my M44.

Dude! Shoot that thing with the bayonet extended!

(They were designed that way)

I though the bayonet was to stick them so they can't run when you shoot them

Yeah, I know, but for whatever reason, any time I get video of it, I never put the bayonette out. I guess it's stage fright or something. Everytime I video something, I come home and kick myself for leaving something out.

Thought maybe your rifle was a little gun-shy. Or maybe a shy-shooter.

You need to counsel it; let it know that it's perfectly OK for it not to want others to see it's extended bayonet.

The bayonet helps improve accuracy, no joke. I love my M44 & my M38, great guns. Cheapest "high powered" rifle fun you can have, period.

I believe it, cause my mini-14 become more accurate after a DAT MIL-BREAK was installed. Guess it makes the barrel stiffer

Mosins are by far one of the best bang for the buck values out there, literally. They fire a very effective full power .30cal cartridge, and good ones can still be had for around $100.

Thanks for sharing the video! What ammo was that by the way? The Czech heavy ball seems to give me the best fireballs from my m38.

That is the Polish, steel cased stuff. I've tried a few different ones, and so far, that is the best I have used, in regards to fireballs. I'm stuck with it for now, as Aim surplus was running a good deal on it a few months back. And yes, I agree, The Mosins are indeed the best, and most fun thing going. My 1937 Ishevsk is actually the most accurate rifle I own right now.

Heavy ball is awesome. Can't find it anywhere though.

I took the Ruger Alaskan along in case you happened to be there.
