The 3rd one in my collection was a recent acquisition and by far is the most interesting. It is also a 43 Izhevsk PU sniper in a Hungarian PU sniper stock with a Russian hand guard. The butt plate,...
When I started seriously collecting many moons ago I instantly gravitated to Mosins because they were plentiful, came in more flavors than Baskin Robbins, and where, for the most part, cheap. I...
Thanks for the additional information Ovidio
Thanks for the info Ovidio, from what I had been told by a friend about 8 months ago only about 150 of the ones coming in to the US had scopes.
When a couple of these came up on G-Broker about 8 months ago I was hoping more would come available so when some showed up @ Palmetto State Armory about 2 weeks ago I plopped down some coin and...
I believe this si a one you speak of sir.
Goodevening Gentlemen, have not been on the forum for a while as the wife and I have been fighting the covid bug. I still have the Fazakerley "T" and have had it to the range a couple of times....
Got a new addition to the gun safe today, a Springfield Arsenal M1C. The rifle was sold by CMP back in 2007, the base and mount are mismatched and the scope is a Lyman B-Series Alaskan, which where...
Tula switched production from Hex to Round receivers in mid 1936, Izhevsk switched in mid 1935.
Eye relief is not the usual complaint on the PU sniper, rather its getting good check weld on the stock. There is a gentleman over on Gunboards that makes reproduction M41b sniper check rests that...
+1, no ball & spring under my elevation turret, only on the windage turret.
Izhevsk do have a special marking to denote them, they have the scope number stamped onto the left side of the barrel shank. The only exception where one might not have this is when they have had a...
+1, that reciever is crude, even by last ditch standards, i believe it to be a non firing trainer.
Thanks for the info Pierre, got some ammo due in mid week and hope to get some initial range time next Saturday.
After about 12 months of procrastination and a lot of encouragement from a good friend of mine I finally drop some coin last week on this beautiful numbers matching Swiss Miss. Big Brown dropped it...
Picked this one up earlier this month but had to wait till my Catarct surgery was done to try it out. It is one of the drilled and tapped M48's Century imported and sold back in 2008. It's numbers...
Are you sure it's 7.62x54r? IIRC I read some where that Hunting rifles couldn't be of a Military Caliber and most where converted to 9.3 x 62
They are reproductions sir, some more of Sweaty Bens fantasy rifles.
After picking up a 1952 Hungarian M52 sniper this past weekend I am able to say I have completed my collection of Hungarian PU snipers with a 1952, 2-1953's, & a 1954 M52, plus a Hungarian Military...
Unless your name is speckles, then the Sniper Gods smile on you and bestow there rare goodies upon you. :bow:
I wish you luck sir, Hungarian scopes are a hard find and a lot of them had Russian scopes , which has been debated about as to there originality, but there are VN bring backs that have them and the...
While there is no listing of scope numbers on the web, Victor Soto over on Gun Boards has a pretty extensive list of both sniper scopes and rifles that he published a while back in a book on Japanese...
Filled another hole in my PU collection with this 54 Hungarian M52. It came with a Russian scope and post war mount, but having a spare Hungarian base, mount, and scope in the safe it just didn't...
Thanks to Dmitry (Raspootyn) I have filled another hole in my collection. He recently offered some re-snipered Mosin's for sale and the 42 Ex-PEM caught my eye. I have had an Igor base & mount as...
Thats the plan sir, was suppose to take it to the range today for a 600 yd shoot, but 4"+ of rain today kind of got in the way.
