Could you post some full length pictures?
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I forgot the leupold was on them but the mount is from the rifle I thought. This ones repro and I believe the scope must be since it's so perfect. Can't find one that seems correct. My thing is the rifle is setup for the scope and is a 9130, could it be a sniper of Def not?

No. It is a standard infantry rifle that someone has drilled and tapped to fit that after market mount. The rifle is a year that was never used as a sniper.

1942 is when the first PU sniper was made.
