This is a very fine representative example of a WWII Soviet M91/30 Sniper rifle with the correct side mounted PU type scope base. Hooded pin front and tangent rear sights, barrel dated "1937" with standard Izhevsk arsenal mark and proofs, un-numbered Tula marked scope base attached to the left side of the round body, low wall receiver with four staked screws, adjustable scope mount numbered "118" with matching numbered rings, "1938" dated PEM (Progress) scope, matching numbered bent bolt, and renumbered magazine floorplate. The upper receiver tang is also dated "1937". Correctly inletted hardwood stock with full length upper handguard, metal bushings around the sling cut outs, Soviet arsenal re-work marking on right side of butt, and matching numbered blue steel buttplate. Includes canvas web sling.

Very fine as arsenal refurbished with 85% thick arsenal reblued finish remaining, areas of high point and edge wear, and small surface nicks and scratches throughout. The stock is also very fine with scattered small dings, clear stamp on right side, some loss of the black enamel finish on the brass handguard ends, and visibly spliced (arsenal) toe. Mechanically excellent. Scope is excellent with some small scratches and dings, and clear optics.
