So, I decided to buy one of the Russian M-44 "parts guns" that SOG was selling. To my surprise, underneath 14 pounds of cosmoline was a complete rifle. I cleaned it up as much as I had patience for (keeping in mind the $49 price). The barrel was completely plugged with cosmo. Took forever to clean. As I worked with a solvent soaked brush, I kept telling mystelf....I should see rifling eventually, right? Mmmmmm......no.
It seems my rifle came complete with everything but the rifling. There is a hint of where the rifling used to be...but that's about it.
Just for grins I decided to fire off a few rounds and see what kind of groups I could get at 50 yards.
I aimed for the center of my cardboard target stand (didn't bother with a target). Only three rounds hit the cardboard. Maybe you guys have seen this before, but it's a first for me. I have never seen bullets hit the target completely sideways......Pretty funny.
