Now that I have an original scope and mount I figure it to be worthy to submit my sniper for approval.
Been wanting one of these for a long time so when the opportunity presented itself I just had to have it. It's a Finn Captured 1939 Tula PEM Sniper with a non matching scope and mount. All parts are Tula and all numbers match except the bolt, which is scrubbed. The scope is a 1938 PEM scope, and the mount is of Tula manufacture. Being as the Finnish Army only showed 213 captured snipers in it's inventory in June of 1940, and most of them being PE Top Mounts, I feel I am very fortunate to have acquired this elusive Finn Captured PEM side mount sniper.

Gee, I don't know... It has a scratch on the stock... Oh, okay. We'll let this one through.
Good heavens! That is a show stopper!
GOOD RIDDANCE LGR!! If there isn't a gun range in heaven, then I'm going to hell.

Very impressive... And good luck finding anything like this on today's collectors market. My first thought after seeing this is how did you find this rifle, was it still configured as a sniper and how did you manage to find nearly correct parts to complete it?
I sense an interesting story of an amazing journey here... Please share with us in the showcase so we can enjoy it too.
Thank you for sharing this with us... And I agree with everyone else; Yes for submission.
