Perhaps you should post your photos of your rifle first, so we can help you. Answering questions without see what you are answering about is at best ridiculous if you could see photos first. Especially on a sniper rifle.

The arsenals put Orange paint in the sight markings and on the barrel shank lettering after the rifles were refurbished. So it is a post war thing.

Thanks for the answer it was a general question.
Normally when I post pictures of my guns I know exactly what I have before I post them . I don’t like surprises.
