Mosin PU dealers/sellers

[James84]

I am still on the hunt for PU so if anyone knows of any coming up or someone who has one they are willing to part with, I am still very keen to find one!

There is one at Ellis Arms if that is suitable.

Yalking to a couple of dealers at Bisley they said the amount of 'fakes' out there were so good and easy to produce (matching numbers stamps etc) a genuine mismatch is probably more original ...

Unfortunately that one is a fake (aluminium mount, fake scope which can be told by the dark spacer ring and flat headed screws on the turrets)

I cannot find any that are definite originals other than two - one is at Green Jacket Antiques, but that is £2,500 for a refurb which generally seem to have gone for £1,200 - £1,500 over the last few years. the second I've found is at the Tunnel in Charmouth, which is a genuine refurbed sniper with a sanded stock for £1,400 but I went to view it and the bore is pretty worn. I am hoping one comes up at auction in the near future but I'm also hoping that someone has one, original or a refurb that they would be willing to part with.

Fultons had one up on the wall just before Christmas which was a fake for £1,200. It might still be there. I asked if it was original and he said yes. I'm more than happy with a refurbed genuine sniper, but even they are hard to find...

they may be the same rifle, green jacket is run by a shooter at the tunnel. I'm not saying it is, just it might be.

[James84]

That's good to know, thank you! They're definitely different, the one at the tunnel is reasonably priced (in my opinion) for a refurbed sniper, it is only the bore that put me off. Green Jacket's is also a refurb with what is apparently a very good bore, but it is still a refurb and the price is just too high. Someone may pay it but it's very expensive. I think I'll be waiting for one to pop up at auction by the looks of it.
