91/30 Sniper Help

The holes are plugged but they weld the blasted things before filing them down. At least that's what they did with mine. Generally, the only way to tell it's an ex-sniper is by looking inside the receiver. You can see the holes from the inside.

Oh dear! Well, at least one can measure up pretty well where the holes need to be.

I took a samco global ex sniper and restored it to sniper grade, it came with the holes and two pins ,topped it with a 43 progress scope and mount and redid the stock here are a few pics of before and after . here are how she came from samco

And here she is now after i redid her was a 279.00 all matching 44 izzy fom samco global arms ex sniper, now she looks awesome has a perfect .308 dia bore , no counterbore and mint bore all rifling and lands are immaculate. All numbers match on rifle , scope is not the original of course but a 43 progress i picked up. Great shooting rifle.

you should be able to pop those welds out from the inside out , i have had to do it before then retap it is all, make sure you get the measurement right for the base holes and pins tho.or it will be become a project that seems to never end.I always make sure i have the base in hand before i start on one myself. Repro scopes usually have the wrong spaceing for some of the bases that were used in the day , try and stick with authentic or accumounts , they seem to get em damn close to original spacing for holes and pins. The cheaper aftermarket repros are always off .unless you are starting with an untapped rifle i would stick with authentic if you can find one but acuumounts has about the best repro bases on market. Hope that helps ya my friend.
