    PU sniper rifles didn't come into production until 1942 and she is built on a 1939 rifle ... Regardless I like it a lot, the workmanship to my eye at least is quite nice. Bent bolt handle has a bit...

    Bought one of those at a gun show recently, the price was right (could never justify the price of an original). Seems to be well made, built on a 1939 tula with repro scope, I assume the mount is...

    Looks distinctively like a TOZ78 but too large to be one. I'm guessing another Russian rifle made by Tula (hence the resemblance to the MN).

    Careful if you decide to take the bolt appart, should you not have the issued tool to put it back together you'll have a hard time making the firing pin protrusion right.

    Either that or rust/dirt in the chamber, or the aftermarket gas system parts don't fit as well as they seem and need some fitting. That's really all I could think of.

    Proper placement as well as an agressive stance is key to shooting the MN (you want to lean heavily into the rifle). Pretty sure they make aftermarket muzzle breaks for those if you're into that,...
