The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Hi
I am new to this forum, normally I collect german K98, I don't know much of the Mosin Nagant.
I am able to bid on a Mosin Nagant M38, from 1941 with a PU scope mounted.
The bolt has been altered to to clear the scope, I am asking if this could be a wartime modification or not.
I am just thinking if this has been done post war, why is the finish so crude, it is not able to fool anybody to belive that this is "original"?
Please share your opinions.

My guess is Bubba.

Creation of Bubba using legit or repop 91/30 PU sniper parts.

They never made a M38 sniper rifle.

Thank you for the answers, I didn’t buy it, since it was not original.
I’ll keep looking and reading this nice forum.
