SVT-40 find...

[Len S]

I came across this rifle at a local gun shop some time ago but I was only able to close the deal today. It's a '40 Tula in exemplary, un-refurbished shape.
She's all matching with the exception of the magazine (also Tula mfg.), never been sanded, reblued, EP'd, Finn or import marked. The only downsides
are some corrosion on the triggerguard and rust speckling on the bolt cover . Minor annoyances are that the barrel band is reversed and she's missing
the cleaning rod but those are easy fixes. Bore looks to be in exc. condition. Here are some pics.

Very nice score. They are hard to find in original untouched condition.

A favorite of mine to shoot.Now you just need a scope mount and a scope, and it's bang bang city. Used to have some yellow tip ammo for these 762.x54. I was told they were tracers...anybody know for sure?

This one's too nice to shoot and they're a pain to clean after shooting with corrosive surplus ammo. All yellow tip signifies lead core, heavy ball I believe.

Very nice! Stay with shooting light ball in it.
