How hard is it to find a nice 44 carbine and what would be the expected price range?
Thanks

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU WANT? THERE ARE 3 VARIATIONS TO THE T44 CARBINE..THE ONLY DIFFERENCES ARE THE POSITION OF THE SCREWS IN THE BAYONET HOUSING...A MINT , PRISTINE , MUM, MATCHING CARBINE CAN GO AS HIGH AS 1200.00 AND AS CHEAP AS 300.00...TYPE 3's ARE THE MOST COMMON AND THE CHEAPEST...RANGE FROM 300.00 - 700.00...
TYPE 1's ARE THE SECOND HARDEST TO COME BY AND RANGE FROM 400.00 - 900.00...
TYPE 2's ARE THE HARDEST AND CAN RANGE FROM 500.00 - 1200.00...I HAVE ALL THREE VARIATION AND IT TOOK ME ABOUT 8 YEARS TO UPGRADE TO THE LEVEL I WANT...THEY ARE ALL MATCHING, MUM, WITH CLEANING RODS BUT NO DUST COVERS...I PAID 900.00 EACH FOR THEM...
IF YOU WANT GOOD REPRESNTATION PIECES...MUM OR NOT..PROBALLY 500.00 EACH FOR THE TYPE 1&3 AND 700.00 FOR A TYPE 2
