That’s nice roadkill. I gave my dad a decent M44 a while back. That thing kicks with full power ammunition.
I have an Yugo M48 with a scout scope mount (thus my handle from a long long time ago), and a Venezuelan Mauser with a 29” Persian barrel fitted by a friend of my dad many decades ago. I have a Burris 2x scout scope on that one and I promise I’ve shot 3 shot 3/4” groups with that twice before. I also have a Turkish Mauser me and my buddy chipped in together a long time ago to buy for like $55. I was 18 and that was both of our “1st gun”. We would but those stripper clips in bandoleers for super cheap in bulk and shoot all afternoon. Good times
