what about a refurbed pu sniper that is all mismatched , without the scrubbing and force matching ?

Who is the importer?

Some of the first PU snipers were made up from "parts" by the importer.
I wouldn't own one because they are not in original configuration .... but ......

can't find an importer's mark anywhere. 1t is a 1943 izhevsk. scope number on right of receiver, "c in circle" on top right of receiver and a wartime stock . non matching bolt, magazine floorplate,buttplate,and scope. he is asking 1400.00. he said he bought it from a gun show vender in ohio in the early 90's.

the mismatched numbers appear to all have the right cyrillic prefixes from a list i had seen , and the stock has the metal insert in the bottom of the rear slot as sniper stocks did (according to "mosin museum" on youtube). i am still inclined to agree with you that is made up from "parts". maybe it came in as a barreled action......thanks for your input...

i guess what is somewhat puzzling is that i'm unable to find an importer's stamp

Start a new thread with pictures in the sniper section. It is more likely to be seen there than on this 9 year old thread.

No import mark is needed if before a certain data. Law came later.
Usually on the end of the barrel by the muzzle.
Or, on the receiver.
