In 1930 updates to the Dragoon were adopted and the "new" rifle was designated the "7,62 mm Rifle, Model of the Year 1891-30", more commonly known as the M91/30.

Changes included the front and rear sights and split barrel bands. Hexagonal receivers were phased out and replaced with round receivers in 1935 and 1936 respectively at Izhevsk and Tula, the two arsenals which produced the 91/30.

M91/30s were used as the basis for sniper rifles from the mid-'30s with several types of mounts and scopes.
The most commonly encountered today is the PU which was adopted in 1942 and uses a side rail mount.

This is the PU Variant

This is a genuine Russian Sniper Rifle, rifle & scope refurbished post war at the No2 Arsenal in Kyiv
Action marked with C in a circle which is the marking for Sniper Rifles from the Izhevsk Arsenal

A Genuine Izhevsk Factory Sniper Rifle
Post War Refurbished & Put into War Reserve Stores
Refurbished at the 2nd Grau Factory in Kiev

Matching Scope still has the protective wrapping & seals - Nice clear lenses

The Fore-End has the the heavy shellac finish to the front portion, this doesnt look pretty but is genuine & correct, any attempt to refinish this would loose a
significant part of its originality.

If Collected I have 150 Rounds of PPU Ammunition I will include with the sale for a bargain at £50
