Not trying to be a bring down but the type 53 is not even close to a good Russian M/N 44
I have a type 53 that is called our camp gun we use it to scare bears away from our deer camp about all I can say good about it is that it is very loud and makes a very big flash
With the price of an arsenal refinished model 44 at around $100 imho it would be a far better choice and imho you will be much happier with
You might want to check some of the Mosin-Nagant web sites and see what you can find Good Luck and good shooting
