I can't see them being under $150 unless you'd be buying off someone on here that is giving a nice price. I think when my brother bought his it was around $70 and that was in the late 90s. Big fireball, more of a push than a kick. I like shooting it.
I found one in at Four guns in Lafayette about 2 weeks ago for $95 and I couldn't get it off the shelf and into my truck fast enough. They are getting very hard to find at a good price.
You got to beat the bushes to find them and then know what you are looking at when you do,i have seen some ruff ones, walked into Orions in Clarksville a year ago and someone just brought in four M-44s one from each country that had built them minus Russa and i asked how much, they were asking $125.00 per so i got them all before they changed their mind, lucky i know.
