Mosin M91/30 PU Sniper Rifle

Your stock is a wartime production Izhevsk - possibly the original. Interestingly, most during this period were made with just an open oval sling slot in the butt stock and a metal liner in the front sling slot. Yours has a liner in both - which is not often seen. Your other rifle has the late war/post war production pressed sling slot escutcheons.

Thank you so much, Mark! I'd be lost in the world of Milsurp rifles without you!

Good looking rifle. Don't mess with the stock or "Sporterize" it!

LOL

Regards, Lars

Here is a photo study of the serial numbers on my new PU:

My two Mosins together... I will try to mate them. I'd love a wartime vintage M44.

Thanks, Mark! I'm really proud of it!

I made a half hearted attempt at bore sighting it this afternoon... My folk's back yard isn't very large... maybe only 25-30yrds. At this range, things were way off... Would you say this is normal?

Shouldn't be. Are the wind age and elevation knobs set to zero? It appears that you elevation at least is way high. The crosshairs looks almost bottomed out. It should be pretty close to center at that range.
