Original factory markings are ground off, rifle was manufactured by Mednogorsk factory in 1942-1944

Just to make sure you understood Ratnik. This is not a military made "sniper rifle". It was done by civilians. To be a "sniper rifle", it had to be done by the military arsenals or purchased by a military for that purpose. Anything else would be a rifle with a scope added on. Ac...
