I had a Polish equivalent to the M44 at one time, and it was a much nicer gun than the run of the mill Russian, and was probably unfired. You used to be able to get them cheap. I want to shoot all my surps if possible, so I look for bore condition to be hopefully excellent, or not pitted up at least. Other people like that and it affects resale value. A pretty gun with a rotted bore does not get you much money, I know that. And wish I could kick the slob that shot corrosive without cleaning it.
