This is a very desirable example of an assembled pre-war Russian Mosin Nagant 1891/30 sniper rifle fitted with a early top mounted 4X PE sniper scope. These are fairly rare as most were decommissioned and converted into standard service rifles at the end of WWII. During WWII, the Red Army fielded more active snipers than any other country in the war and probably most countries combined. During the battle for Stalingrad, they proved to be devastating to the German Army, raking up hundred of confirmed kills during a 6 month period. This rifle is marked on the rear barrel shank with the "Tula Star/1936/L32460" with the top base secured with only three screws on the right side. The scope is the early PE sniper scope with the adjustable rear objective, which is marked with the small oblong identification block with"NB2595/Russian Hammer and Sickle/1936". The scope has the correct windage and elevation dials, with the elevation dial graduated 1-14 (100-1400).
