enemy at the gates: What is the REAL rifle used?

Thanks a lot guys. If someone know where I can find a pe scope and mount let me know. The rifle seem easy to find but I'm worried about finding one with bent bolt.
 
SIR :www.sirmailorder.ca. Theyre an outback /hunting style canadian website. I found out about them because they apparently sell 7.62x54R but they have been out of it for months./ Elmwood epps in Orillia has 7.62x54R ammo made by norma. Its 20 rounds per box and its 48.95. Not cheap. In stock right now...

Yes I too think it's done for aesthetic purposes. If they have the photo taken without edit it'll be nothing on the left side of the rifle, and the poster would look not as attractive than having the bolt show.

Just buy a bent bolt. Make sure it's a quality bent bolt and not one of those ATI ones. You are not going to find a rifle with a bent bolt.

Good luck finding a PE scope and mount. They are not nearly as easy to get as the PU. The PE scope is a Zeiss I believe -from back when Stalin and Hitler were best buds.
 
Yes Stalin was quite impressed with Hitler's housecleaning[Night of the Long Knives] and copied him using the same terror tactics..........................Harold
 
Old saying from my Militia days, there are no left handed shooters in the Army. Soldiers were simply trained to shoot right handed.

You simply have to switch the bolt handle. There are plenty of people on ebay and gunbroker that will either extend and bend your bolt for you or make you a bent bolt handle. I only payed $50 for mine and I didn't even use my own handle.

The PU scope kit I got on ebay came from Russia. It came with the scope, mount, rail, all screws, drills and taps, scope caps, and a cavas cover.

The Mosin reciever was suprising easy to drill and tap. The hardest part of making the rifle was cutting the stock to fit, but I'm not too experinced with wood. Either way it turned out good.
 
For anyone who does come by a PU sniper and isn't sure what they're looking at from a point of view of authenticity, check the Russia - Milsurp Knowledge Library (click here)http://www.milsurps.com/forumdisplay.php?f=18

There's extensive photo montages on both an authentic 1944 Mosin-Nagant M91-30 Sniper Rifle (click here)http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?p=1177 and also a 1954 Mosin-Nagant M52 Hungarian Sniper Rifle (click here)http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?p=1178

Sometimes the latter turns up at gun shows priced as a normal PU sniper, which is about half its actual market value ... ;) So, learn those markings so you know what to look for when picking one up for inspection. :D
