My friend just bought a non refurb Mosin, dated 1942, Izhevsk. It is his first mosin and he doesn't fuly understand how special it is to have a non refurb. He is talking about modding it to put a PU scope and mount on it, but I am trying to convince him otherwise. I would appreciate it if someone could give me insight into how rare it is to have a non refurb mosin, and also some ways to convince him to keep it as is. I am hoping I can convince him to get a 91/30 refurb to do his modding with.
