The rifles are original sniper rifles that went back into the arsenals after the war and had varying degrees of re-arsenaling work done . They may have had force matched scopes or other parts at the factory & then stored in Russian Arsenals for the next Big Conflict. You may see some parts changed out or find or even a re-match where the designation # on the rifle has been re-struck to match it to the scope that it has been Re-Arsenal mated with. Scopes will have original stamped #'s but mount plates may be electro-penciled to match the rifle that the scope is mated with. This was common in the Post War Russian and Allied Arsenals mothballing the rifles for the future .These rifles are not cosmetically re-finished and the external condition as well as bore condition will vary from rifle to rifle. Generally the rifles are running at about NRA surplus very good condition and somewhere around 80% to 85 % of new.
