I love your Mosin! I wish mine had the sniper scope on it. Do you think it would detract the value if I added one original to the period?

If you did what would you do about the bolt? It would have to be angled to clear the scope when cocked.

Hmmm..That's something i didnt think about, Darn! Maybe I could find a way to temporarily mount one that isnt permanent.

I made my own setup not the same I know but it's one heck of a deer killer.

Thanks Dean! I'm glad you like it. Actually, you can't just bend the stock bolt. The bolt on the sniper version is longer. You would have to get a normal 91/30 and have a gunsmith tap the recever for the scope, and you would have to buy a bent bolt, But the problem you would run into is that it wouldn't zero correctly. When the Rifle I have was made in 1944 it was made as a sniper rifle (not later converted) For example, the serial number on the side of the receiver is the same number as the one on the scope. I could go on, but it would take all night ;-) Read this: General Articles To make a long story short, you would be better of just buying an original PU sniper rifle (if you can find one)
