  i bought a russian m44 from a friend for $80. he said he paid $120 at a gun show, but needed the cash, so... since then i've had an offer for $200 and an offer for $400 from another guy for the rifle. i have not fired the rifle, and it appears to be like new, has all matching serial numbers, a hammer and sickle stamp with 1945 below it, working bayonette, pretty much in mint condition as far as i see. i'm obviously a new gun enthusiest and don't know alot about firearms, but i figured this was just a surplus rifle that pretty much anyone could get for $100-$120 bucks. right? or did i stumble upon a rifle worth more? thanks for the help.

  J&G Sales is a good firm to do business with. I've purchased from them off and on for years and have never been disappointed. As for the M-44, I think you'll like it. Be aware that the cartridge they shoot is equivalent to a .30-06, and as a short, light rifle some people sensitive to recoil claim that they kill on both ends. As for country of origin, if they are all new-in-the-wrap you won't see much difference. Mine are Russian, and I like them.
