Noobie here. Just purchased this ex sniper for 115$ please view the pics and I would appreciate your comments.

Thanks

You did good. Looks like a keeper to me.

Thanks. After the very fake sniper i purchased (and returned) glad to see this is as advertised.
Stupid question...could this be refit back to a sniper, and if so, how...

Thanks

Stewart

"...could this be refit back to a sniper, and if so, how..."

No. Not without destroying the history of this rifle. We do not condone modifying, mutilating, any forearms. It is what what it is, not what it was.

nice rifle.

Cold here in Boston also, but going !!

Looks like a nice Ex to me. These have a history all their own and is a nice variety by itself. They were snipers and then decomissioned and returned to service. Kind of like a double life. I am stil waiting to find an ex sniper for myself.

You have a nice M91/30 with a bit of extra history, leave it be. It's an ex for a reason, it was worn past sniper spec, but still fine as an infantry rifle.

Very nice rifle enjoy it and let us know how it shoots!

Or it was drilled and tapped for a scope and the war ended and it was returned the infantry rifle ranks. That number which is on there and could indicate a scope number is usually farther back on the receiver so I am wondering just what that could mean.

Boston? Nice. My fiance went to school there, she lived in Somerville near Tuft's. We still go up there to visit friends quite a bit.

Very Nice Find!

Just returned from the range. This thing was just hitting to the right...



Adjusted a bit.....



Then just kept shooting.....



Fun in 45 degree weather......

Shooting real nice it looks like. Those are all kill shots

Oh, he is dead......

Great looking rifle you have there! Looks like it shoot good too
