Welcome to the forum, Sorry I couldn't reply sooner, I've been unable to do much since my Time Warner account was down for almost 11 days. Anyway. Welcome

I see your hand guard has the brass metal inlays. Very nice.That will look good with a PEM cause they mostly had the brass ones anyway.

sorry, the one with the brass end pieces is my son's 1930
He won't let me touch it - not even to put in a Finn trigger or shim the barrel - it's such a beautiful rifle, he just wants it kept original.

Lol purist. Thats ok. We like any Mosin. Modded or not.
and I tend to have some purist in me to, especially for Finnish mosins.

an M39 is next on my list, but this PEM sniper is taking all my Mosin funds for now - still have 1 child in collage.

Only reason I can build this PEM is my daughter just graduated
into the worst job market in recent history - she had to move home and I'm still supporting her - forgive my politics!!!

No problem. I am in the same boat

This is what aggravates me on on the accounts PE scope. The top one is a genuine and is mounted correctly. the bottom one is a Accumounts and can you spot the problem. There is no way to mount it correctly like the top one case the rings are not spaced correctly.

[rjmt]

is that a Finn rifle? the rear sight looks different to me.

I also noted the SA stamp on the original top PE mount
