Aimsurplus M44s

[littletommy]

My two M44s arrived this afternoon, and I'll tell ya, I'm extremely pleased with the condition of both guns. Both are 1944s, and, after initial inspection, and a quick wipedown, they are in VERY good condition.

I can't wait to get these bad boys to the range.

Can't decide if I want to pick one of these up, or pick up another 91/30 and play with that one. BTW, those look great from what i can see

 

[wabash]

what do those cost?

 

[LPMan59]

The 9130 I ordered from aim was also in great shape. I hope to have my m44 this week.

 

[rmoore911]

what do those cost?

if any are left they were going for 199

Just looked, still in stock at $199.95

 

[littletommy]

Yep, $199. I have to say I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered these, but Aim has never let me down before, and I am frikken THRILLED with what I got.

 

[edsinger]

Good...I hope you enjoythem. they look great!

I picked one up a couple of years ago for about $70 and love it. Kicks like a mule and throws one hell of a fireball, but its fun to shoot and is reasonably accurate. Its too bad the price has gone up so much on them, I would like to have a couple extras, but I'd be more inclined to get 91/30 for the value.

Congrats, Glad you got them. They look very nice!

 

[TRWXXA]

I got one on the way. Can't wait.

I completely agree. I have 2 on their way to my house as well. Aim is one of my favorites as far as surplus rifles. I have never been disappointed with what they carry

 

[johntheplinker]

Good lookin' pair there. Now get them cleaned and to the range so we can read the range report! AIM has got to be one of, if not the beat of the larger distributors.

Have these gone up in value that much? I bought one about 2 years ago from Gander Mnt. for like $120 or something and I knew I was paying a premium back then (I think I could find them for like $80 online back then). Are they getting scarce? I can't wait to shoot mine again. Yours look to be in good shape. Congrats!

The BBT stopped by today and dropped this baby off:

1944 Izhevsk, with a laminated stock and 4 pounds of cosmoline.

 

[SmileDocHill]

and 4 pounds of cosmoline.

No kidding, I have a love hate relationship with cosmoline. Back when I collected a bunch of these Mil surp. rifles I spent a ton of time cleaning the stuff off of them. Afterward, however, I loved the fact that it preserved them so well.

 

[Shootin'IN]

Its too bad the price has gone up so much on them.

No way, I like that the price has gone up on them, that means the four I have are worth more than the $50 or so I spent on them.

Boo on that, I got my C&R to collect cool old guns, not to make money.

Boo on that, I got my C&R to collect cool old guns, not to make money.

Yeah, same. I think I was a little late to the game. I got mine about 6 months ago but haven't bought a thing yet. From what I've heard it used to be a lot more worthwhile to have it.

I hope no one is trying to make money with their C&R.. that would be a no no

 

[tv1217]

I've gotten an M44 and an M1895 Nagant revolver. That saved me $40 in transfer fees already. That's not even factoring in the saving on Midway and Brownell's
