Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
160,000 Made by Fémáru Fegyver és Gépgyár (FÉG), Budapest, 1952-53 Est. manufactured: 80,000 in 1952 and 80,000 in 1953 Caliber: 48M 7,62mm [7.62x54mm rimmed]. After the end of WW2 Hungary was limited to a 25,000 member military. Only the following weapons were available in the hands of the military: 10,600 35M and 43M Mannlicher rifles, 6250 39M, 43M and MP-40 Machine Pistols, and 1274 Pistols in various calibers. The Hungarian military purchased a limited number of Soviet firearms, including M91/30 and M44 Mosin Nagants, PPSh41 machine pistols and TT33 pistols.
By 1948 Hungary was pressured through the Warsaw Pact to purchase the license from the Soviet Union for the manufacture of Mosin Nagant and other Soviet weapons. Production seems to have been confined to good-quality copies of the Soviet Model 1944 carbine, known as 48.M (48 Minta) in Hungary. Hungary's Warsaw Pact given factory marking of can be found stamped on most parts of the rifle. The stocks are made of beech and are characterized by excellent workmanship. The finish is a standard military oil type with low sheen. The buttstock is marked with the '02' country code and with 'B' in a circle for Budapest.
These are the rarest of the M44 rifles since only a small number were produced. These are also very desirable among collectors due to the high quality, the "02" stampings (code for Hungary), and the Hungarian Communist crest. These were very likely used in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, but this is not verifiable.
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
