Saw an AC44 today, I'm kicking myself right now for not taking a couple pictures. It's a little rough, but matching. Stock hasn't been messed with as far as a refinish, some one has etched/engraved about a 1" capital letter R into the Right side butt of the stock. It has a small crack that runs under the buttplate that would be easily fixed, a crack in part of the wood handguard (maybe 1/2 the length. It's missing the sight hood and cleaning rod. Barrel is dark, but typical surplus. What threw me was that right behind the front sight base there was some rough milling/machining done. This is definitely in a spiral pattern. I don't have my Weaver book with me (haven't looked at it in a year+ to be honest), but were Mg barrels ever milled down and used on a G43, as latewar Kriegsmodell K-98's, etc? Price is 1550$. Thanks, Chris...
