Being able to find a correct chinese bayonet for it will be tough. Too bad about the bayonet being gone. China made a few that had a "tri-form" bayonet instead of the standard (4)cruciform. If it is one of the better Navy Arms imports you shouldn't have any issues with it. If it is a "bringback" and in Rough shape, it might not be the best candidate for a "project". If you do find a bayonet for it and mount it remember that the M-44 was designed to be shot with the bayonet deployed. Have fun!
