Product Overview and Introduction

Acquire one of the most lethal and iconic sharpshooting platforms of the Eastern Front with an Original 1943 Soviet Tula Mosin-Nagant M91/30 PU Sniper Rifle, complete with its original matching bayonet, vintage optics mount, and 3.5x PU telescopic sight. Manufactured in 1943 at the historic Tula Arsenal during the pivotal turning point of the Great Patriotic War (following the victory at Stalingrad), this matching-number sniper rifle represents the peak of Soviet mass-produced marksman weaponry.

Chambered in the hard-hitting 7.62x54mmR cartridge, this authentic sniper variant features the specialized bent bolt handle designed to clear the low-slung side-rail optical mount, a matched Soviet 3.5x PU scope with crisp reticle and wartime star/maker markings, and a finely tuned sniper-grade barrel. Complete with its original socket bayonet, this museum-grade piece captures the grim engineering and tactical effectiveness of Red Army sharpshooters like Vasily Zaitsev.

Historical Significance and Tula Wartime Production

As an authentic frontline sniper rifle issued during the height of World War II, this Mosin-Nagant carries immense historical weight and distinctive manufacturing pedigree:

• Tula Arsenal 1943 Heritage: Stamped with the iconic Tula star crest and dated 1943, reflecting production during the Red Army’s massive counter-offensive campaigns.

• Factory PU Sniper Configuration: Unlike standard infantry rifles retrofitted post-war, this is a genuine wartime sniper rifle featuring correct scope serial number matching on the barrel shank, side-rail mount, and optic body.

• Complete Accessory Rig: Accompanied by the matching socket bayonet, canvas sling, and period optics components.

• Battle-Tested Reliability: Built on the robust Mosin-Nagant bolt-action platform renowned for enduring sub-zero Russian winters, mud, and heavy combat stress.
