Where to find original 91/30 PU sniper rifles?

**MeatMarket** · 11-17-2011 06:49 AM

There are a lot of 91/30's reconfigured as snipers with reproduction scopes and bent bolts; and a lot of "ex-snipers" out there. I really want an original sniper veteran with an original PU scope and bolt, but it's hard to find. Does anyone have any leads?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I found the two I have at a gunshow on a seller's table, but that was a few years ago ...

That second one you have there is exactly what I'm looking for (but preferably an earlier model). What did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?

I think it was about $800 or $900 a several years ago ....

I know that finding all correct authentic originals such as this one is getting a lot harder. There's a lot of fakes, put-togethers and repros out there nowadays, so be careful ...

RGuns has original WW2 91/30 snipers complete with original scopes for $800.

Thanks, I'll go look there. I read a detailed book on colleccting the Mosin-Nagant and it described things to look for when identifying original snipers from fakes. Time to put that knowledge to the test.

Rguns' PU snipers have been gone over time and time again by countless Mosin experts. they are the real deal. buy one and enjoy it before they run out and the price shoots past $1000

The ATI imports are original refurbs with added German proofs. They were imported from Russia icon

to Germany icon

and then to US. The Rguns are fine but they are near the bottom of the barrel. Royal Tiger, formally IO, is to have some they claim are original refurbs in a couple weeks. These are yet to get a proper going over by the knowing.
