In spite of the age of its design these weapons have shown up in various conflicts around the world until the modern day, being rugged and effective, much like the AK-47 and its variants. The Izhevsk Machine building Plant is a weapons and motor vehicle manufacturer based in Izhevsk, founded in 1807 at the decree of Tsar Alexander I, and is now one of the largest corporations in its field. The Plant manufactured Mosin Nagant rifles during WW1 & WW2 along with AK47 assault rifles and other arms for the Russian War effort. The Plant produces arms for the Russian Military today. This is a very good WW2 dated Mosin Nagant sniper rifle with scope as seen in the hit film ‘Enemy at the Gates’ (a 2001 war film written and directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud and based on William Craig's 1973 nonfiction book Enemy at the Gates: The Battle for Stalingrad, which describes the events surrounding the Battle of Stalingrad in the winter of 1942 and 1943. The film's main character is a fictionalized version of sniper Vasily Zaytsev, a Hero of the Soviet Union during World War II. It includes a snipers' duel between Zaytsev and a Wehrmacht sniper school director, Major Erwin König). It has undamaged metal work with even patina and all original wood furniture which has some service wear consistent with age and service use. The Breech housing is stamped with Russian Script and the faint arrow within triangle Arsenal marks of the Ishevsk Plant (illustrated in image 2) together with 1943 date. The weapon has its original cleaning rod, adjustable rear sight, block and blade fore sight and steel butt plate. The fore stock and shoulder stock are correctly slotted for sling anchor. This rifle is fitted with a period Russian marked Telescopic sniper sight which has period leather lens protector caps joined by leather strap.
