Here's my numbers matching Romanian M44, I picked up earlier this year. The barrel bands, bolt, bayonet, butt-plate, floor-plate, rear sight, stock are all Romanian marked. The floor plate, butt plate, bolt and receiver serial numbers match. Came with the cleaning rod, but I haven't found any markings on it as of yet. She's not the prettiest girl in the collection, but she's a keeper for sure.

That's just cool as a Popsicle, there is something about these M44s that just reach out and grab ya. Very nice Sarge!
That's a nice Romanian People's Republic M44. All matching with some honest wear thumb1 I'd be very happy to have that carbine in my Mosin collection. Is the bore decent? Shoot well?
Great bore, but haven't shot it yet!
