There's a local guy selling one that looks like it is in really nice shape, except for the fact that he stained the stock with a redish furniture stain. Looks nice, but can't be good for the value.

You sure it isn't original Russian refurb varnish? I've seen more than one with a reddish varnish finish on them after refurb.
I actually went down and looked at the 1943 M44; It was in very nice condition with a bore that, while it wasn't mint, was very nice with just slight dullness in the grooves (and NOT counterbored).. He also dropped the price 50 bucks. I'm tempted...
