m44 bubbad

[cobaltbomb]

since i suck with irons , and since this one has a great bore and overall condition, i decided to put a scope on it.
i want to see what i can get accuracy wise out of it with handloads.
i bought a PEM style mount with 1" rings off ebay
mounted that thing and did a welding job on the bolt handle
i also parkerized the bolt handle part.
it has a nikon m223 2-8x32 on it with the bdc reticel now, and mounted way back its just fine for my long neck...

Is that a Yeti in the second picture?

The stock is in incredible shape! Did you replace it at some point?

The whole rifle looks like an unissued Polish M44...

I think that's a high dollar wookie, maybe the former girlfriend of Chewbacca.

So, how bad does that thing kick? What kind of dies, powder, bullets, and primers can you get there?

Re: m44 bubbad

the rifle is an unissued polish m44, the bore is in as good quality as the stock is

the rifle does kick quite a bit, just like a sporter 30-06 maybe.


i havent tried any home grown loads in it yet, but i do have rcbs dies, some cci LR primers, S&B cases and imr 4350 amongst other powders, and several different cases of 308 diameter bullets. ill try that first, and see if i can get it to shoot with the 308 bullets

the yeti of course is my dog, its a bearded collie

Re: m44 bubbad

Good luck on the 308 bullets.

Most M44's have a .313-315" bore.

Re: m44 bubbad
