Probably not.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Fantasy piece some one made to make their ego burst. Maybe $400+ worth of parts. Good shooter for a range gun maybe after trying it out before buying it. Bill

Bolt handle bend is all wrong, as to the rest of the gun, the lack of an [SA] stamp leads me to believe its is either an ex-sniper that was redrilled or a humper made to appear to be an ex-sniper.

I agree. Also, where is the serial numbers on the bolt? Are my poor eyes missing them or are there none?

Miller is making reference to the bend itself (I think). It is not a bend that was made by the Russians. Too rounded off. Also, the bolt wonders away from the stock. On Russiana's the parallel the stock pretty close. There doesn't seem to be an impact mark on the underside of the bolt bend. Russians do. When they are made in the states, they usuall bend the handle with heat and not impact making a rounder bend. Also, when they weld it onto the bolt, it messes up the original serial numbers. So they usually grind them off. And seeing they don't have the correct font to put them back, they leave it blank.

So, tha is just some of what Miller is seeing. He is seeing other things also. So do I.

Not to give you a short, or rude answer, but the guys you are talking to know these things, it comes from years or decades of serious study....If they say it is not real, it is not real.
