One of the most common questions customers have after purchasing a Mosin Nagant is, “How do I mount a scope on there without altering my receiver?” Generally, scopes are installed on to a receiver that is drilled and tapped to take scope rings. S&K Manufacturing stepped up to the plate with its Mosin 91/30 scope mount.
What scope did the Mosin Nagant use?
The PU scope (ПУ, прицел укороченный, 'Scope short-cut' in comparison to PE/PEM telescopic sight) is a 3.5×21 telescopic sight of Soviet manufacture, widely used since 1940 on the SVT-40 rifle for which it was originally designed and since 1942 on the Mosin–Nagant rifle.
Will Mosin Nagants increase in value?
Certain Mosin Nagants can be much more valuable than the run-of-the-mill, gun show rifle. Although the odds of your old Mosin Nagant being worth a significant amount of money are very low, there is a small chance that your specific rifle is worth at least a little more than the average.
A Mosin Sniper can be accurate past 800 yards with the right man behind the trigger. I have a 1930 date stamped 91/30 myself, iron sights. The earlier Mosins are often regarded as the best due to machining quality being better pre- full blown WW2 breakout. I can consistently shoot 300 yards and hit an 8″ steel plate.
Is Mosin-Nagant better than Kar98k?
The Kar98k was far superior to the Mosin-Nagant by pretty much any measure. The Kar98k was far superior to the Mosin-Nagant by pretty much any measure.
