OT - Ugly Rifle
I just bought one of the ugliest rifles ever made.
http://www.gunbroker.com/auction/ViewIt ... =121096305
For $75 bucks, I couldn't pass it up. I've wanted one for a long time and this one was calling my name.
Any of you folks have any experience with these. I hear they can be fairly accurate.
I wish I knew the history of this rifle. Wonder if it killed any Nazis.?

Re: OT - Ugly Rifle
I have only used one on on a 200 yard range and it was very accurate!
The carbine version spits flame and kicks a fair bit.
Lots of history behind that gun!

They are interesting. Shoots well enough. With the bayonet fixed I can hold off the hordes from the top of the stairs!

Re: OT - Ugly Rifle
These things are hoot. I have about 9 or 10 of them in various configurations. The bore diameters vary widely, I found that they will all shoot fairly well with the .310 diameter 123 grain bullets for AK's and SKS's and lighter loads of powder. The sights are regulated to the POA with the bayonet attached, and the soldiers always carried them this way, there was no place on their web gear for carrying the bayonet.

I have shot a carbine and have been tempted to get one. The somewhat unearthly boom and flash are great.

Ugly guns still shoot, and you don't feel bad when you ding them up.

Re: OT - Ugly Rifle
I don't think it's ugly, looks kind of graceful, actually. AND, it's got a lever stickin' out of it!
Have you hugged your rifle today?
Re: OT - Ugly Rifle

Re: OT - Ugly Rifle
$75? How can you get hurt? You paid about what it cost me to fill up the Jeep a couple of months ago.

Re: OT - Ugly Rifle
I payed a fortune for mine i spent a $100 including a box of ammo. At 200 yards it was super accurate, yes the overall look is ugly but fits my shoulder nicely when in firing position. Personaly a person will get out of the gun what there expations are of it. Good luck and safe shooting. Jerry W. Baird 3

Re: OT - Ugly Rifle
Woah, that pic scared me.
Take a look on you tube. there is a guy on there tearing up a 1000yd target with one of those things. They can shoot real good with the right ammo.

Nice Mossin. Now you need an Enfield, M1 Garand, M1 cabine, Arisaka, and a Mauser to round out the WWII collection.

Re: OT - Ugly Rifle
JR, I have an M1 and my grandson has a 30 carbine so that is two more. I was really suprised that his Mosin shot like it does, an old man like me can bust a rock on the two hundred yard line with those sights and here in north Arkansaw we have plenty of rocks to bust.

Re: OT - Ugly Rifle
Get 'er home and take it apart so you can scrub that hideous shellac off the stock. Murphy's oil soap & hot water gets the cosmo off and most of the dirt, then use a gel stripper to get all the shellac or whatever it is off, wipe down with MS, and after a day wipe in about four coats of BLO....at least you won't be afraid to take it out of the wrapper at the range. They are kinda of fun though, love the safety, nice feel on the trigger too
Oh yea, they are not the ugliest gun, ever see a French one...or even the wire wrapped Enfields, they got that one beat all to heck. You have an interesting stock, rear sling hole has the whatcha macallit like the front one...think they are called estch...something, something.

Re: OT - Ugly Rifle
The last time I took my M44 out and shot it, the wife came running out of the house. She said she thought something blew up!
I was very impressed. 5 rounds at 50 yards and 3 of them were touching, all within a 2" group approx 4" above the bullseye!
