Century Import- 1942 Izhevsk PU with Ukrain scope in good condition all matching #'s that I can see. High wall receiver. Is the XO 48 without the dash more coveted than with? This is my first Mosin no scope numbers on the side of barrel which appears to be bright couldn't remove bolt. Cant make out the letters in the serial # looks like a crossed out K. I have it on hold for $400

Thanks for your help Homer2...and forgive me I am new to Mosin's. I realize the scope is a repro... and I understand early 1942's didn't have the scope # on the side of the barrel. How can I tell if this started out as a sniper or if it's a complete conversion? Does the XO 48 signify anything? I appreciate your help.

Thanks AGFA...the XO 48 is an interesting mark from what I've read. I'll look at it again and if I can get it for say $250 I'll probably pick it up.
