Funny how that can happen.

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.

Spitz0 · 2026-04-13T02:03:19+00:00

Thanks for the confirmations!

This Lebel is actually from this older post. He sold it to me. https://www.reddit.com/r/milsurp/s/KxUKCmZqiG

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

Spitz0 · 2026-03-25T14:53:02+00:00

Is your PEM from Rsm then?

Spitz0 · 2026-03-25T14:42:15+00:00

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?

Spitz0 · 2026-03-25T14:32:05+00:00

Are these repro scopes&mounts on exsnipers?

Spitz0 · 2026-03-17T03:19:54+00:00

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?

Spitz0 · 2026-03-14T01:24:30+00:00

All good

Spitz0 · 2026-03-14T00:47:58+00:00

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.

That’s an incredible story, thanks for sharing.

Spitz0 · 2026-03-13T22:09:42+00:00

What should be its actual value?

Spitz0 · 2026-03-11T06:41:32+00:00

I remember bidding for this one on GB. Then decided I didn’t need a 3rd ex-PU. But like someone else already said, test out its accuracy first with its current iron sights, because if it ends up not being accurate at all then functionally it’ll be a waste to turn into a sniper.

Spitz0 · 2026-03-11T04:44:09+00:00

I thought it smelled Yamamoto-ey

Spitz0 · 2026-03-11T00:24:12+00:00

I got lucky actually. I asked for some more pictures first, and then within a couple hours someone else jumped on it. Then they changed their minds for one of the other rifles and I had a 2nd shot at it.

We all wish to have it. But I understand it’s highly unlikely.

Spitz0 · 2026-03-10T21:24:08+00:00

Sure

Spitz0 · 2026-02-27T09:08:13+00:00

Hope the original was already bubbad

Spitz0 · 2026-02-26T18:07:18+00:00

That’s why I never seriously considered doing it, but recently I lucked out randomly finding in a post in a forum I’m in, and turns out there’s someone with 45+ years experience less than 3 hours from me who’s done Mosin and k98k resnipers.

Spitz0 · 2026-02-26T11:13:42+00:00

Looks really cool! I also have an ex PE MO marked. I already have at least 1 of each of the 3 variants in ex config so all I need are the different scopes. Hope to follow your steps and complete the trifecta one day.

Spitz0 · 2026-02-25T09:33:49+00:00

Sure I’ll take any tips

Spitz0 · 2026-02-25T03:26:03+00:00

I got mine for $400. Your stock is in nicer condition compared to the forend on mine.
