Would this be considered an ex-sniper?
I didnt see an filled holes then again I havent taken it apart yet..my understanding the holes sometimes show right below the wood line...
Nice Gun and welcome to the forum. It is likely a PE sniper and you may find the holes under the wood.

Welcome to The Forum jloop10 very, very clean Tula Hex u have there. How bout more close-ups of receiver and butt stock. Again super clean rifle she should shoot real nice.
Look for faint welded over holes on the front of the receiver near the barrel. I also have a '35 Tula ex sniper, and there is at least one other on the board that year. Welcome to the forum
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Nice find. I have a '37 with the C N stamps. I didn't even notice them until someone here on the forum did and then I found some faint weld marks at the mouth of the receiver at the chamber.
Probable it is not a PE/PEM sniper with the side rail mount where the screws can be seen plugged with the bolt pulled back.
Probably a PEM top mount sniper like this
This type of mount when welded up is harder to find and like JYD says, is just behind where the barrel screws to the reciever. 3 holes on each side plugged up and ground off and hard to find. Not visable from inside (unless you can crawl in there!).
That is an exceptionally nice first Hex! Thanks for posting up the pics, and when you get her apart, post some more of the sides of the receiver and the tang date!

Took it apart and I checked the for filled or milled holes and didnt see anything...the tang has a Tula star and 35 below itt...I take it it stands for 1935?
