| Samco Sniper Question 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. Aviator |

| 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

| They are M91/30 snipers from 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 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. Aviator |

| There were some original scopes on 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 ! |

| there was a few from the Ukrain 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. |
