How could an "un-refurbished" 44 have a one-inch re-bore if it did not go back to a factory? Comrade-rebore? In 1945? With steam drills made from old German cannons? Why would this otherwise nasty, all matching rifle be re-bored? It looks like the crap you would expect, 'cept for the crown and about an inch of twist. Return?
M44 original finish Mosin?

If its a 1945 the barrel may be a newly made barrel or cutdown, recycled barrel from a battlefeild pick up 91/30 of sorts. The factory had to get them into an acceptable accuracy, they Soviets did care a bit about the final product, and it may be that at the origional factory they simply recrowned the end untill they got acceptable groups they wanted, and sent it out to be issued.
The Germans were doing this at the end of the war as well, trying to make use of every barrel they could lay their hands on.
No [/] or [l] markings for referbs Vellocet? No varnish or patches on the wood?
Who imported it, ?? that would send us in a plausable direction......
