Thanks. After the very fake sniper i purchased (and returned) glad to see this is as advertised.
Stupid question...could this be refit back to a sniper, and if so, how...
Thanks

No. Not without destroying the history of this rifle. We do not condone modifying, mutilating, any forearms. It is what what it is, not what it was.

Looks like a nice Ex to me. These have a history all their own and is a nice variety by itself. They were snipers and then decomissioned and returned to service. Kind of like a double life. I am stil waiting to find an ex sniper for myself.

You have a nice M91/30 with a bit of extra history, leave it be. It's an ex for a reason, it was worn past sniper spec, but still fine as an infantry rifle.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Very nice rifle enjoy it and let us know how it shoots!
Re: New Ex Sniper please comment
Or it was drilled and tapped for a scope and the war ended and it was returned the infantry rifle ranks. That number which is on there and could indicate a scope number is usually farther back on the receiver so I am wondering just what that could mean.desdem12 wrote:Looks like a nice Ex to me.

Boston? Nice. My fiance went to school there, she lived in Somerville near Tuft's. We still go up there to visit friends quite a bit.
On Facebook? Check out the non-sporter preservationist group at: OOOPS. Deleted by Facebook because it's evil to even discuss collectible firearms on social media these days.
