svt-40 serial number on bolt

[catapult]

Hi,
Just got this svt-40 and noticed the serial number is electro on two different places on the bolt (on top of the bolt knob but also stamped under with a cross line on)
First time I noticed that. Its like the bolt serial was cross line during the refurbed and later the same bolt got electro lol

any inputs ?

Its called forced matching. Most of the russian refurbs have them even the russian captured weapons

I know what is a forced match. what I try to pointing out is the bolt is both stamp and electro with the same serial

Never seen that before. Would be pretty cool if that was the original bolt....at least the carrier

 

[DILLIGAF]

Thats freaking cool

Used a bolt from another gun in your gun and forced matched it. Seen a couple of those. Lol I have a feeling I will see the gun up in EE for 600 because its rare and dual serialized hehe JP

 

[deagle2008]

Oh wait a minute those numbers are the same hehe missed that one

822 and 5822 are not the same number, or am I missing something?

Actually this one is a sniper variant with the C proof and the correct prefixe and serial, If you have one similirar to this, I'll emt you 600$ right now

If originally bolt carrier was matching receiver then. after reman in order to be sure EP was done on visible parts of the bolt to match the rifle.

Might be, might be... But I still see "5" on the handle, not "Б". Guillaume can you make a better pic of bolt carrier handle?

 

[catapult]

Yes, I'll take better pics later. I saw a 5 at first but the same spacing between the last prefix (or a 5) and the 822 make me think a bad punch prefix rather than a 5.
