Cleaning rod mounted under the barrel, and a very good condition Soviet cotton sling is attached to the swivels. The bolt handle has been altered to look like a long turned-down sniper type by cutting and rewelding. Marked on top of barrel shank with the fletched arrow inside five-pointed star of the Tula Arsenal over "1936" and a stamped letter "D"; left side with "SA" Finnish property stamp. Right-side buttstock stamped with a circled "CCOP" cartouche forward of a circled "Rb" stamp. Matching numbers on receiver, barrel shank, and bolt; mismatched number on buttplate. Condition overall is very good with the metal retaining over 80% finish. Wear to the buttplate accounts for much of the finish loss. Forend and hand guard show scars and bruises to the right side, and three notches have been carved into the left side of the wrist, otherwise, the wood is good showing chips, handling marks, and scratches to the dark finish. Action operates smoothly, dark bore has light frosting and well-defined rifling. Import stamped on underside of barrel. The PU scope is marked "Star/Hammer & Sickle/Half Moon/91 30" and is numbered "No. b-156640", with round top turret screws. Mount is a reproduction.  Condition overall is very good showing light scratches to the underside of the tube. Optics show a dull yellow color with a sharp reticle. Both knobs turn with effort. The mount is unmarked and is in excellent condition. Includes a very good condition leather lens cover and cotton scope cover. Est.: $700-$900. (C&R)
