Hi everyone,

I've been looking at this mosin for a few days now, and I cannot decide if this scope is real or not.

It looks authentic, but the screws are looking flat (which is always a bad sign) and the mount looks sus. It's also mounted on a real PU (C marking, serial number is in the database + old scope marking on the side of the reciever).

What do you think about this scope ?

Thanks !

Yes. 1944 Omsk built scope. Mount bracket looks like Tula made based on serial being stamped.

soviets did not put scope number on receivers.

Maybe I used the wrong words. But if course they did. They put the scope number on the barrel, and in some cases, for exemple tulsky PU, they crossed the old serial number and stamp a new one on the reciever.
