WOW, that is the best looking stock I've ever seen on an M44.They are usually a LOT more dinged up.That thing is pretty mint.Nice find.M44's are a RIOT to shoot too.Very loud, and a huge muzzle flash.Recoil can be a little uncomfortable for a lot of people (the steel buttplate can slip around on your shoulder and find bone, if your built like me.OUCH), but a cheap slip on recoil pad will fix that if needed, and then you can shoot all day no problem.Lots of people dont need the pad at all though, seems to depend on how your built.
