I see a lot of M44 and of course they all have the bayonet. I had a kind of a bad one that I got rid of (bad headspace) but I do like them and would like to have another.
When I had mine, I found it easy enough to take off the bayonet without any damage to the rifle. It was sure less front heavy.
Aside from changing the original config of the rifle, why would one who wanted a shooter not take off the bayonet and have a more balanced, lighter, rifle? Obviously the thing was designed with the bayonet...does removing it somehow affect the accuracy?
Thanks.
