Ah, the one I've been waiting to buy for a long time is finally here. biggrin This is an authentic WW2-era Mosin M91/30 PU sniper, built at Izhevsk in 1943. I refinished the stock due to some shellac damage on the left-hand side on the fore-end and handguard, but now it has a more period-correct oil finish. Bore is great, trigger is nice and tight, and the optics are crystal-clear. From the looks of things, the scope and mount are original to the gun.

I'll be taking it to the range next Saturday!

Very nice specimen there, Luke, it’s definitely a keeper. Will be interested to hear about how it shoots.

Is that an 'actually used' rifle?

Now the question is - what ammo to use with it? I don't think they make sniper ammo for M91 anymore.
