Easy way to tell if a Mosin Nagant PU Sniper is fake!

[@The20thCenturyLimited]

Another thing to note, they did make sniper rifles with HEX receiver mosins but they were not PU rifles, they were PE rifles. Which if you have an authentic PE rifle it's way more scarce and valuable than a PU.

[@lencac7952]

I always thought if the scope won't hold zero, it's probably original

[@mesothelioma5024]

I’ve got the plugged scope holes and the shims as well as part of the scopes serial number on the receiver

[@GuitarDudeC]

Appreciate this video. Something else to look out for when I hit a gun show.

[@PlayingWithFireOutdoors]

That's a whole lot of stamping on that PU.

[@frankpop9448]

Excelent info. Just bought 1942 izzy. Just waiting to see all the markings if real or not. Did not pay a bunch so if not real still a nice looking rifle

[@paulramsey5695]

I've got a 44 izzy that has been turned into a clone but it was done right pretty accurate as far as mosins go

[@MATTY-G-HULL]

Big Sam back at it again 🔥

[@mikelalonde6874]

I have the option between an izy and a tula pu sniper. Does it matter what one I choose? I am leaning towards the tula pu

[@krandom354]

Local shop is selling one for 999. Round receiver dated 1942 but import mark says C.A.I. What do you think?

[@BigSamMosinMuseum]

Over 95% of 1942 PU Snipers are reproductions, I would keep looking unless you are ok with a cheaper reproduction

[@kevincolliss2877]

Enjoyed your vidio! So far looks like mine is ligit😊 Prayer Request!!!! Ask the Lord to heal my shoulders so I can keep on shooting (and working too of course) God bless from Canada brother !

[@BigSamMosinMuseum]

Right on brother, you've got prayers coming your way! We stand with you in your fight for freedom!!!

Hi Big Sam Does any 1944 mosin is real? I have one sniper mosin written 1944 on it but does not has base of scope mount. I mean no cutt in stock

[@bobafett8664]

Yes it’s real just not sniper version, it is regular infantry rifle but can be customized for scope if you want to buy one

[@Windows954]

@@bobafett8664 great! Yes i want

[@SCVGun]

Too late for me. Mine’s a 1931. Guess I’ll just have to shoot it.

[@BigSamMosinMuseum]

It's still a fun gun that many people wish they could have! Go enjoy it!

[@thevintagegentleman9714]

Is there a difference in performance tho between real and fake ?

[@BigSamMosinMuseum]

It depends! You will see very mixed results with fakes, you may get one that shoots good, or one that is poor. Real ones can be expected to be more consistently on the good side. Also, fakes tend to not have their mounts aligned properly, so in order to get them to shoot point of aim, the reticle may have to be moved way over to one side in order to compensate!

[@Tsalaqna]

Triggers feel way different as well. 😁

[@olddemon6581]

Hi Big Sam. Hope you’re doing well

[@vernondodge1689]

Thanks Big Sam

Awesome info thx!

Thanks !!!!!!!!!!😊

[@davidwallace5738]

Thank you sir

[@farklestaxbaum4945]

Id settle for a fake if it was done well lol

[@edwardkanieski6342]

I have a 1939 that was drilled and tapped, then plug welded shut. It has markings on the barrel. What is it

[@supposedbigfoot1859]

Probably a ex pem side mount

[@tomwelch6281]

They always say if it's not original it's fake, no it's real just not original,still nice either way

[@soudadmaouas7058]

Even if they are fake the quieation is, does it shoot well, is it accurate. Still they are made in russia, is thw quality good, is there a bid difference when shotting them.

[@crayolavet4433]

Well no. Shooting wise, it’s the exact same gun. The only difference between an infantry mosin and a PU sniper is the curved bolt and scope. The real difference is infantry mosins you can pick up for $300-$500. PU snipers on the other hand are going to run you $1000-$2000. They also made over 37 million regular infantry mosins but only 53 thousand PU snipers. That’s why they are so valuable.

[@redfirekla]

Something that should have been added is Hex mosins were made before the war and were some of the best and most accurate mosins

The factory´s name is I Z H E V S K for heaven´s sake ! At least try to pronounce that correctly.

[@SEAL7471]

He was pretty close for someone who doesnt speak any kind of cyrillic language. Ижевск (ee-jshevsk). The jsh sound isn’t really used in english and thats not a perfect sound but close.

[@kal.50bmg32]

@@SEAL7471 You´re right.
