For collectors and tactically minded shooters who appreciate historic service rifles, a true Korean-era bring back offers both story and character. This Izhevsk example presents clear battlefield wear and honest patina that tell a post-war narrative while remaining an attractive mantel or display piece for a military rifle collection.

IZHEVSK BRING BACK RUSSIAN M44

Overview and provenance

This specific rifle, SN: K4349, is a Korean era bring back with the receiver dated 1945. The receiver date places its manufacture at the end of World War II, and the Korean theater provenance increases interest among collectors of mid-20th century military arms. Note that serial numbers are non-matching — common on returned war bring backs — and the metal shows a brown patina consistent with long service and honest aging. Price is listed at $1,095.99.

Key condition details every buyer should know

• Bore and rifling: The bore has shallow rifling. For anyone planning to shoot the rifle, expect reduced accuracy compared with a well-preserved rifled bore; if range use is intended, budget for a gunsmith inspection.
• Stock: There is a crack on the left side between the trigger guard and receiver. Structurally this can be stabilized with a conservative repair, but it affects collector-grade originality.
• Metal: Brown patina covers the metalwork; this is visually desirable to many collectors who prefer original finish over over-restoration.
• Serial and markings: With non-matching serial numbers, value trends toward historical display rather than pristine, matching-condition collecting.

Practical guidance for purchase

Caliber is not listed for this lot; confirm chambering before purchase and before attempting to source ammunition. If you intend to preserve originality, avoid aggressive refinishing — retain the brown patina and document any stabilization work. For operational use, schedule a headspace and bore inspection with a qualified armorer.
