Correct me if I'm wrong but in the photo it looks like a laminate stock on your M44. The stock looks to be in good shape with the action retaining about 50-60% bluing. Nice rifle, how does it shoot?
I own an east block M44 that I modified slightly and my boys got me a laminate 91/30 (1943) for Christmas. Couldn't ask for a better present.
