Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Famed for its brutal effectiveness on the Eastern Front of World War II, the Soviet Mosin-Nagant M91/30 PU Sniper Rifle served as the premier long-range marksman weapon of the Red Army. Introduced in 1942 to replace the complex PE/PEM optic setups, the PU (Pritsel Ukorochenny) system mated a compact, rugged 3.5x fixed-magnification optic to a heavy side-receiver cast steel mount. Built around hand-selected Izhevsk M91/30 actions chosen for tight manufacturing tolerances and accuracy, genuine PU snipers featured a specially swept turned-down bolt handle to clear the optic body. Manufactured in 1942 at Izhevsk during the desperate defense of the Motherland, this historical WWII example features the 29-inch military barrel, original 3.5x PU scope with leather lens caps, matching serial-stamped turned-down bolt ("1586"), matching serial-stamped side mount bracket ("1586"), authentic Soviet birch stock with shellac finish, and green canvas web sling with leather dog-tag ends. Imported by Century Arms (C.A.I. Georgia, VT), complete WWII Soviet PU sniper rifles with matching primary metal components represent essential blue-chip military surplus collectibles.
This fine, highly complete WWII-era Soviet Izhevsk Mosin-Nagant M91/30 PU Sniper rifle, serial number 1586, is an authentic 1942-manufactured example. Chambered in 7.62x54R, this rifle features a 29-inch barrel, military blued finish, original PU 3.5x optic with leather caps, matching serial-stamped turned-down bolt handle, matching serial-stamped side mount base, Soviet birch stock, and attached canvas web sling. Preserved in clean, highly presentable military arsenal condition throughout, with deep blued coverage, sharp Soviet markings, clear optic lenses with a classic German-style post reticle, smooth bolt cycle, and a strong, shootable bore with sharp rifling. Offering verified 1942 Eastern Front sniper heritage and matching metal assembly numbers, this M91/30 PU Sniper represents an outstanding military surplus acquisition.
