I have never fired it, and due to shoulder problems, probably won't, so selling. Local meet to me, I will include the ammo I have (4 boxes of Sellier & Bellot and 1 box of PPU) and sling. Pictures available upon reuest as I am having trouble posting the correct format and size to work here on this site.

General Description of Hungarian M44s:

During WWII there was a need for carbine rifles. The Soviets produced the Model 1938 carbine which was a 1891/30 shortened down taking about 8 inches of overall length of the rifle. This model would not fit a bayonet. In 1944 a proper factory produced carbine was made. The M44 carbine had 50,000 test units and was produced by Izhesvsk and Tula. A permanent side folding spike bayonet was also added to fix the issue of the M.38 carbine. Soviet infantry soldiers would be issued the M44 carbine. After WWII many of the Soviet allies and satellite states in the Warsaw Pact would begin produced M44 carbines of their own. The post war design was slightly changed; Poland, East Germany, Romania, and Hungary would all produce their own M44 licensed through the Soviet’s. Izhesvsk would be the number one producer of M44 rifles in Russia, Tula also made carbines but not as many.
The Hungarian M44s were produced in 1949 until 1955 for a limited time run. Many of these rifles were sent as aid to places like Vietnam or China. The Hungarians did not really field the M44 but there is some speculation if these carbines were use in the 1956 Revolution. The Hungarian M44 is one of the rarer and more sought after variants by collectors.
