Under the Stalinist government that took control of Hungary in 1948, the Hungarian military adopted a whole suite of Soviet small arms. This included the M91/30 Mosin Nagant as the 48M rifle, and the 91/30 PU as the sniper model of the 48M. Production began at FEG in 1950, with a total of 213,990 91/30 type rifles made by 1954. Of these, 4,100 were made into snipers according to Hungarian government sources (400 in 1952 and 3700 in 1953). The production was set up with Soviet assistance, and the rifles were exact copies of the Soviet pattern – and many were eventually repaired using Soviet-made parts, since they all interchange. The PU optics were also copied directly from the Soviet model. These rifles served as the standard Hungarian sniper rifle until 1978 when the Dragunov was adopted to replace them. After that, Hungarian stockpiles were given or sold to friendly nations, with none remaining by 1980.
