The carbine comes complete with its box, cleaning tools, and oiler. Approximately 50,000 M44 carbines were produced in 1943 as trial and pre-production rifles before full-scale production officially began in 1944, making dated 1943 examples significantly scarcer than standard wartime M44 carbines.  The action is smooth, mechanically sound, and functions correctly.
