"Arsenal refurbished" Such a nice way to say FAKE. 99.999% of ALL 91/30 sniper rifles in the US are just that FAKES. Something this company is infamous for selling ,while swearing "hand to G_D" that they are real. If you find ANY military sniper rifle without clear and complete provenance , then "reproduction" is the most generous thing that can be said of them. Fake would be more appropriate. ---Ray
Sorry not to get back to you sooner, Yes but not always, as several thousand 91/30s were "made up" after importation using condemned soviet parts. Hence the "refurbished" moniker. There HAVE been a few hundred actual Russian factory built sniper rifles brought into the US over the years, but they sell in the same range as provenance 98K , 1903A4, and M-1942 sniper rifles. The bulk of 91/30's were kept in KGB (now FSB) and Army arsenals where they still remain. The VAST majority of ex-Russian "snipers" are ether condemned soviet era sniper rifles that have been "restored",(a few thousand) documented war trophy's, (RARE!) and outright fakes.(99.99+%)---Ray P.S. One of my favorite "funnies" is the fact that there are now more "actual/ original" "Nazi Marked 98K sniper rifles" in the US than the total number of sniper rifles built by Germany in both world wars, and that number increases every year.
