Well, after buying 4 91/30's and one m-44 this year, I certainly didn't expect to buy anything at Duhnams today. But, I found an x-sniper among the crowd. Not sure what they are worth, but snapped it up before the $79 sale for $109.
My first question relates to what type of sniper it was. I hear talk (i beleive) of PEM vs PU. What is the difference? Is that PH on the BBL? It looks like 3 letters, but can't tell.
Second, did I get a deal?
Third, I would like to restore it to a sniper with an original and correct scope.
Forth, my bolt is refurb, not bent. Is there a way to modify it when I put a scope on? I'd like the serial number to match. What have others done?
Finally, I have a rather plain refurb stock with minimal markings. Was thinking of striping and giving it that nice redish Tula stock look with a shellac finish.
Pics are below.
Thanks in advance. Whoever on here said mosins breed like rabbits was certainly right. Now only "need" an MO and laminante stock. Oh, and a fin....
