Well now that that's clarified up, I found a more promising listing on gunbroker at this link: Mosin Nagant 91/30 Sniper Rifle : Bolt Action Rifles at GunBroker.com
. I understand that with auction sites, it's always a slight gamble. This one has features I haven't seen before, but I still question it. All the serials on the rifle match, including the scope mount which is stamped rather than force matched with an electric pencil. It's a 1940 rifle, but the PU scope wasn't developed until 1942 according to 7.62x54r.net. The scope mount also appears to have an Izhevsk mark as well. What do ya'll think about this one?
