I got my IZZY sniper,refurb but very very nice condition.
The rifle in box,wrapped in a brown paper.
1944 Ishevsk,as far as i saw, alls parts appear to be Ishevsk,no electro pencil on the rifle.
Various factory stamps are still visible on the stock.
Many tools marks on scope mount base. The base is a tiny bit farther foward than on my sniper clone.
Markings on the receiver wall that are not present on my sniper clone.
The bent bolt is smoother than my clone, no grinding mark appear.
The bore is excellent,like new condition.
Tools and oiler.
The scope was wrapped in a thick waxed paper.
Scope made at "progress" (Leningrad plan) in 1942
Glass are nice and clear.
scope have been refurb at some time. Turrets work perfect.
Overall,a very nice rifle.
The rifle is quite different from my clone, the bolt handle,finish on the stock. They are refurb yes but i do believe they are real sniper and honestly at that price with wartime optic, was too good deal to pass on. I hope to have some time soon for range testing.
