Ok here’s the deal. I got my hands on an M44 the other day. It’s a laminated stocked Izzy that I believe is a re-arsenal. It is in great shape. I stripped it all the way down to its smallest components and cleaned out all of the cosmoline that the previous owner(s) left behind. This made a HUGE difference in the trigger pull and ease of bolt manipulation.
Furthermore, I installed two .010 brass shims under the sear per the article found here: http://surplusrifle.com/shooting2005/mosinnaganttrigger/index.asp
This modification is well worth it.
Anyway, I plan to use this as a truck gun. The problem is, I want to do some more reversible modifications and I’ve hit a snag. I planned to find a spare solid wood stock and shave it down to better proportions (as I have done on several other rifles) and to get my hands on a spare front sight base/bayo lug that I can put on a weight loss program.
I can’t seem to find spare wood stocks or sight bases anywhere! I’ve looked on Numrich’s website, on Gunbroker, all of the “accessory” dealers (Tapco, Sarco, et al) and I’m coming up with nothing.
Long story short, where can I find these items?
Thanks
