The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

I had a mosin a few years back and regrettably sold it. A 1934 hex receiver too

I am currently looking at this one

The owner has said the scope is a repro but I am not sure if the rifle itself is the real deal






Thanks in advance

Well in a word...yes. Its a real rifle. Just kidding you there...couldnt resist.

But you would need to post lots and lots of pics to see if it was an original sniper. Look at some of the other posts in the sniper section to see what pics are posted to make evaluations. The scope mount is not a PU which is the type that year would have. If it is had mounting holes for a PU then why would someone put that mount on it? See where Im going here...Hope that helps.

It's fake, PE snipers where no produced in 1943.

My advice... Walk away.

thanks for the replies guys

have you read through the sniper papers on the header bar at the top of this forum ?...one of mine is included in the pictures as an example of a true sniper....good info...needs an expert update with all the new data and users on our site.....tom

Real rifle. Fake "sniper" in regards to being authentic sniper production by the Soviets.
