I was never able to find one on Firefields website, couldn't find one anywhere but Sportsman's Guide and I did a lot of checking at the time before I purchased it.

My only regret is now that I went ahead with this project, I'm finding original rifles and what appear to be original mounts and scopes for $400 instead of the $800 I had been looking at. For that extra $110, I'd have made the deal. Oh well, it happens.
$400 for a legitimate PU Mosin is a steal. Heck original scopes with the mount and no base are a round $400 now.
I have been noticing a decent number of the reproduction PU Mosin Nagant in South Central PA. Though all of them were using the Ukraine reproduction scopes with flat screws on the turrets, and NY marked serial numbers that never existed.
