Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD.
The angle on the stock, with a round like that, is going to make for a tough gun to hold onto. But then again, given the general design of that weapon its pretty clear it was not designed to be practical.
I gotta get me one of these. Someone steer me in the right direction? I'm afraid I'm pretty clueless when it comes to the M-44. But I do like the way that looks.
