Here is my latest addition - a 1940 dated Tula made mosin nagant, this one being an ex sniper, side rail pem, numbers on these 1940 dated Tula pem side rail snipers are very low and to find this one in the uk is a bonus.really nice crisp barrel markings with the typical Tula sniper marking "cn" indicating for sniper uses, this one looks to have seen very little action. nice wood stock with typical nose repairs, common on refurbished rifles, all matching numbers (bolt handle appears scrubbed and renumbered to this rifle) but the butt plate and magazine appear original to rifle. opening up the bolt, inside you can see the centered hole where the side rail was attached.
