Anybody know where I can get a milsurp replacement stock for my M44 Nagant without breaking the bank. I looked on the auction side, but don't to spend as much on the stock as I have in the rifle.

I've seen beat but serviceable milsurp M44 stocks on on Flea-Bay for as little as $50 shipped. You could look there.
FWIW, even though for years you could buy M44 guns for $100, the surplus M44s have mostly dried up now. Hard to believe, but the "re-arsenalled" ones are currently going for $220-$260, and that price probably isn't going to go down. Even the "normal" 91-30s are running over $150. Given the above, $80 for a Mosin stock isn't as "crazy" as it was once.
I definitely see the appeal of an authentic stock, but IMO if you actually want to shoot it, there is nothing wrong with putting a modern stock on one. IE you're probably not a 5'5" Russian peasant wearing a thick wool jacket, and the 19th century stock ergonomics do leave a little bit to be desired. Conventional (eg Monte-Carlo) type stock makes this a lot nicer to shoot.
With the import of the trashed out Chinese T53's, the price of replacement stocks is going nuts
