Any info on the quality?
Found a Chinese version of the M44 in Dewey at Green Country Trader & Pawn, thing was in fantastic shape. Everyone needs a Mosin, maybe, but they need good ones...not rusty, inaccurate paper weights.
Then again, I guess that's part of the fun.
If I'm not mistaken you're talking about the M38. They're getting pretty rare it seems like. If you can get one for a decent price you should do it. Probably an easy sell.
