Scroll down to see pictures. Looks like it's in good shape. Can't wait to get it. Talked him out of
the shipping charges.

Wouldn't you be concerned about all of the innocent russian soldiers
this rifle may have killed ;-)


Rifle was made during WWII in the Urals, more likely used to kill German
soldiers. Pretty common rifle, not collector quality.

Say what? Why would I want that rifle? It's not nearly as pretty as the
100-year-old Swedish Mausers I like. And I'm not a sniper wannabe.

Then why build an AR with the finest available components along with a high dollar optical aid?

Sniper rifles have scopes.

BTW Harry, The Russian Mosin was a superior rifle to even the Swedish Mauser, And the Finnish Mosin was superior to the Russian.

Then again, the Swede models today are probably in better shape than the Mosin's. After all, the Swedes never were in a real war since 1814.

1. So I can shoot tight groups.

2. I'm not sure what you mean by "superior." The Swedish Mauser is a
better looking rifle than the Mosin, is lighter, shorter, has far less
recoil. It's certainly not a really long distance sniper rifle but,
then, I'm not a sniper.

Well, if its yours, it must have factory dimples.

My Ruger III most certainly does. You probably got yours in the

It may have, but it isn't likely Ruger did the dimpling, nor is it
likely Ruger dimpled the large number of Mark III's you claimed. And why
would the dimpling be necessary, since you can buy any number of muzzle
brakes that fit over the muzzle of the barrel and attach with a screw
where the front sight goes, such as the one on the photo you attached?
And some of the brakes are available with a drilled and tapped hole to
relocate the front sight.

Further, Ruger and its distributors have offer Mark III's with threaded
barrels for some years.
