Got the Southern Ohio Guns mailer today. I noticed this advertisement. Now is this what it pretends to be or what it has been made into? At the price it could either be a not such a deal refurb or a good deal real thing.

Looks like Classic Firearms might have some of the same batch. At the moment they have them "on sale" for $599. Check out the customer video. Draw your own conclusions.

Both Molot ( part of the old Izhevsk arsenal) & Tula arsenals have sold a number of PU snipers for import that are legit WW2 snipers, but both have had some odd features such as scope numbers stamped on the barrel shanks of Tula rifles. ( something only Izhevsk did) One of the owners of Gunboards ( Tuco) bid on the original group of Molot imports about 3 years ago and said he saw them in the arsenal crates and the scope numbers where just something that the refurbing arsenal did to all snipers it refurbed. Since then about a dozen well respected collectors have agreed that they are legit.
