I called 'em before I went over to see what they had in stock, the counter guy said, "Looks to be 12-15 of 'em out there..."

So, off I went...

The second one I picked up, I bought... it's a 'Hex'... (is that the correct term here?) 1932 date stamp... from Isveck... Ishvex...Izhvex... heck... it's not a "Tula"...(how do ya pronounce "Izhevsk"... just like it sounds?)

So now it's all apart on my desk... gettin' the cosmo out of it...fun stuff...

By the by... anyone here (besides me) own a Russian motorcycle? I've got an '07 Ural GearUp Arctic to go along with my new noisemaker...

It has no sights or mounting holes for them either. I will cock and fire but I've never actually fired it. I have a few other Mosin rifle and this one is much better finished and the metal to wood fit is nicer as well.
Any info or comments or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike.

I have five I will take as many pictures allowed so you guys can help me out with them. At the range another person shooting told me not to shoot three of them as they were ...not common,...Then he wanted to buy them from me. But No was my answer. My oldest brother gave them to me. He's no help just laughts and says look hem up. It's actually more fun then shopping. But I don't want to trade or ruin a rifle that should be in a safe or on a wall. Thank you, Judi

Just picked up a 1945 m44 tonight! I ran across your forum and thought it would be a good place to gain some knowledge. Pics and questions are on the way.

In March I picked up a 1943 Izhevsk with barrel/butt plate match, bolt and magazine floor plate mismatched. Pretty accurate. Also, it does not have any import mark. It was a private sale at a gun show.

Last week I picked up a 1939 Tula at Cabel's. It had barrel, butt plate, magazine floor plate and bayonet with the same Alpha prefix stamped numbers and a bolt with the same numbers without the prefix. It was set up as a sniper and had electro numbers on the scope mount with a 2009 PU scope.

(I know the PU was not around until 1942, but my historical poetic license lets me believe it replaced the PE/PEM at refurb.)

Interesting thing is the Serial Numbed has a alpha prefix of CN, and there is no СП or СР by the Tula Star.

At any rate, it is configured as a sniper and after I remove the cosmo I will give it the test....shooting it.

Welcome to the board, we call that a fake PU sniper, they are pretty common, probably one of Century's builds, that '43 sounds interesting , this is an issued rifle I take it, not one of the pretty red shellac refurb rifles like that PU is built on? Could be an early 90's Balkan rifle that they forgot the import mark on ( markings very tiny and up by muzzle) or a Korean era bringhome, too new for Spain.

The idea of purchasing an "untouched" crate of milsurps since rebuild was too much to take any longer. Will post when crate arrives and I have time to look through them.

Thanks,
