91/59 rifles have fairly good accuracy and were built for use as Warsaw Pact surplus from what I've gleaned.
I had one a few years back and traded it in sheer ignorance.
The M44 was more of an "urban" combat rifle and was purpose built from the onset.
I have two, a 1946 and 1948, Izshvesk arsenal, one all mactching and one with mismatched bolt. Both guns are in E/C and were Century Arms imports.
The '48 appears to have been unissued as there are no arsenal marks and it matches complete with all parts with no scrubbing.
