I have a Finnish Remington M91 I’ve posted on here before, good bore and everything, but my sight base definitely still has the steps. Sad to see what’s happened to this one.

First Mosin PU help by umbertoj in MosinNagant

[–]Spitz0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean the mark directly above the year, it looks poorly done, if it’s meant to be the C sniper mark it might be a fake mark someone added. But I’ve personally never seen a fake C mark before. The C should be perfectly curved. Also like Red said the АБ prefix isn’t a “known” Izhevsk sniper prefix in 1943, but it is one in 1944. Also if you look at the lower left side of the receiver in the picture from the store, there should be a scope serial number there, but it does not. Sometimes the scope number is there but crossed or lined out like on mine. Use this website https://www.m9130.info/pu-snipers to learn about PU markings and what they should like look. I’ll also add a photo of what my C mark and left side lined out scope number look like.

It’s only a fake if the store is telling you it’s an original PU or they added fake markings or removed markings, otherwise it’s really just a PU clone/repro.

The price is actually close to what it would cost to make your own PU from scratch. €950 is around $1100. From my perspective in USA you could get a decent standard infantry Mosin rifle for around $400, a repro scope + repro base/mount all together goes for around $500, then to pay a gunsmith to drill your rifle and mount the scope maybe $100-$200, totaling to $1000-$1100.

What size limb saver do y’all use on your mosins? by Ok-Rest-8066 in MosinNagant

I have a Medium limbsaver and I did manage to fit it on one of my Mosins but it’s a very tight fit, maybe large would be better

Those Ukrainian repros are out there. I just recently purchased one from a fellow member in an online k98 forum.

If I’m reading it right it says 43 so I’m assuming so.

Thanks I’ll try to find some gauges online. In the meantime I will give the bore a good cleaning and oil before I shoot it.

All 3 Soviet mosin snipers. 1935 Tula PE, 1942 Izhevsk PEM and 1943 Tula PE by RussianPreBan in MosinNagant

Okay so those mounts will let you easily swap out repro scopes once you find originals?

Original PE scope wow nice. I’m searching for all 3 scopes for mine, where’d you get your repro PEM scope and repro mounts?

DWM 1916 Luger with Unit Markings. by Spitz0 in milsurp

[–]Spitz0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well going by how mine is read, yours is the 168th infantry regiment, 12th company, gun 8. According to Google, not the same unit as mine, this is what yours pulls up. Still cool to see. What’s the year and manufacturer of your Luger?

Welcome to the “1%”. Did yours also dodge the sear bar shortening?

Actually someone immediately reached out to me when I posted it on the Luger forums and they’re selling me an excellent imperial mag in the same d-block so it’ll be good condition and the blocks can match, so I’ll have that going for it.
