The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Hello, all.

I ordered a PU Sniper from Classic Firearms today. I went off of reviews on their website along with some reviews/photos from Gunboards. I didn't even think of posting here first.

Now that I think about it further - I should have checked here first - did I do okay by ordering from them? I spoke with a very nice gal on the phone and she was more than helpful.

Hello, Most, used car sales persons are vary nice and helpful to talk too, yet, you 're getting a used car.... I hope you'll be happy with what you get.. As long as you are happy, who gives a shit what other people think... Just my thoughts on the matter. KS.

I think you will be well pleased. They have a good price, good customer service rating, and quick shipping. And nice rifles.

This forum doesn't have "sponsors" that we have to support. You can say what you like here or even recommend anyone you like. Not always the case elsewhere.

I watched a guy at the auction last weekend pay over $700 for a 1942 Izhevsk dated Mitchell's Mauser unit. He had no idea what he bought and talking to him after he was carrying it out still had not a clue nor would he listen to anyone. Tulsky and Molot make nice rifles I will at least say that and many people are happy with them. End of comment! Bill

That's nice to know. That's why I checked here. Didn't want the bias that I saw the potential of on the 'other' website.

Classic PU snipers are one of the best deals on the market right now. You did just fine. There is less of a paper trail in regards to some of their history when compared to the RGUNS PU sniper rifles, but they are at least $200 less than the RGUNS PU snipers. I have a feeling you will be 100% happy with your purchase.

I wanted to follow up with the process. FYI - I have not received the firearm yet, but will be here Tuesday.

I did call them back, and let the gal know that I was concerned about receiving a 'real' rebuild and not something full of aftermarket goodies. She stated that indeed that they are real, and if I'm not happy, to not take transfer and they will send a return label. To set my mind at ease, she moved my order forward and shipped it out ASAP (which I didn't expect her to do - I was surprised). Unfortunately, the supply around here dried up and I don't have the ability to check them out otherwise I'd go that route.

When it comes in, I'm going to check the headspace (I have the OKIE gauges) and make sure all is good along with the scope glass and bore - I'm expecting it to be a little dark - not too concerned about that. I have two other bolts, so I can check if those fix the headspace (changing the head) in the event it doesn't measure out, but I don't initially think that'll be an issue on a arsenal refurbish. If I recall, these guns are marked as 'hunter rifles' correct me if I'm wrong so I give a little more trust in that.

I have a pretty much flawless 1944 with a laminated stock which I really like, but I wanted a true sniper. Forced matched parts or not.

The next rifle for me will be a 1903 Springfield or an M1 carbine, which are available from a nice local dealer (I purchased my Garand from him).

I will report back Tuesday.

This topic should be in the "Sniper Forum"

I'm sorry. Any way you can move it there?

I am in NC....i ordered my PU sniper from classic and received it the next day no problems at all and the best sniper i have ever had. Five minutes to sight in at 100 yards.

I have one and am very happy with it, I think you will be also.
I have some vids on U-Tube about mine;
FYI,
I am not highly knowledgeable, I know enough to be dangerous but I do try to learn as I go.

it is pretty lame but here is my vid if you are easily entertained
