Picked up a 1943 tula ex sniper on my way to ng skiing this weekend, I was being rushed by my friends and saw the tula mark and bough it later found it was an ex sniper. It is a post war stock but it looks like it has a tula hammer on the stock, also noticed a Remington cocking piece. Once I get it cleaned up I'll post some pics I could use some help figuring it out!

1943 tula ex sniper

Nothing extra-special. It has been decommissioned as a sniper, but a perfectly fine infantry rifle.
The ex-sniper status does give it some added conversational value, but not a lot in the money department. The Soviets made several hundred thousand of these in the late war years.
The stamp on the stock is not the Tula hammer, but instead a 'T' of unknown significance. Clean it up, and make it go boom.

Yes. The filled holes which can be viewed inside the bolt channel signify that it was drilled for a PU scope base. The CH letters on the barrel also signify sniper status from the Tula Arsenal.
No bent bolt, as these were returned to infantry rifle configuration during refurbishment.
