Samco Sniper Question

Aviator · 05-11-2008, 07:34 PM

Guys,

SAMCO has a bent bolt m91 which if I read it correctly I assume it is a sniper M91. It has the holes for the mount. They then make the comment that it has a "shortened barrel". Does anyone know abut these rifles that SAMCO has. They are a bit pricey at I think it was 300 and 350 depending on condition.

Well, they better be something good for that kinda price!

Sounds like a bucket of parts. But you never know!

if it has a shortened barrel its no longer a m91 and I would be very careful at that price I know seval people that have bought sniper rifles only to find out the dealers put them together out of junk

SwedeSteve · 05-12-2008, 11:31 AM

I looked on Samco and didn't findthem. I must be doing something wrong!

Enfield trader · 05-12-2008, 12:10 PM

Yugosolvia. Barrels are correct length, they worded it wrong. They were trying to give history that the M91 became the M91/30. These snipers had the scope set ups removed. All you have to do is install a scope set up ( base,mount and scope)

link is here Welcome to Samco Global Arms, Inc.

Here was one I got from them and added an original WWII scope set up
on. It is a 1943 Izhevsk.

Before

During

Finished

Here is the 1944 Izhevsk I have from them and have yet to complete it, I have an original scope set up for this one too ....

Thanks for the link ET! Makes you wonder sometimes! Does anybody PROOFread anymore? LOL!

Aviator · 05-12-2008, 08:33 PM

Thanks ET! I was wrong on the price. They are a bit cheaper. I think they were something like $279.

I have been also looking for a PU scope but not finding much on the internet. Any suggestions were I should look would be appreciated.

Ebay the past few weeks with post war mounts. Also there are tons of reproductions on Ebay. JUST make sure you get the steel mounts !

amen to the steel mounts, the heat of your Mosin action WILL melt the aluminum ones..........cheap modern manufactured sh!t

SwedeSteve · 05-15-2008, 10:24 AM

A lot of the ones you see on ebay are being auctioned by Accumounts. Someone else pointed that out to me.

Enfield trader · 05-15-2008, 12:20 PM

that were on Ebay. I just bought two original bases , 1 Izhevsk and 1 Tula from over seas. I just bought two original mounts from a guy in Poland. Now have 2 extra original mounts and bases. Guess time to find a few more original scopes.

SwedeSteve · 05-18-2008, 06:58 AM

They'd be a good investment it seems!

ive heard from friends overseas in the ME, some bazaars you can actually find homemade Lee-Enfields, found this quite interesting

SwedeSteve · 05-19-2008, 07:18 AM
