Hello reddit experts, i have an offer to buy russian Mosin 1891/30 probably an ex sniper rifle. What do you think ? Its original or some afternarket ? I fondun the pin after a scope mount i guess, but the curved handle.... Im not sure, as far as i found pictures of sniper mosins online, the handle is in 90° angle, not curved towards the shooter as here. What so you guys think ?

Please and thank you for any answer.

Very very stiff reciever after firing 7.62x54r anyone have ideas what could have happend ? If i cycle it on empty mag, its stiff but nothing serious, after firing its stuck as hell. I fired cca 60rounds and towards the end it was better.

I would like to add that the gun was deep cleaned and the source of the stiffnes surely isnt layer of cosmoline in that loading part of the gun.
