This is the thing that turns a 1100$ rifle into a 2000$ one? Sweet!

There are repro snipers floating around. Notches are professionally made, have a stamp on it. I picked up one with Russian made scope/mount for $700 back in the day when regular SVT was going for $300. Should've grabbed bunch of SVT's but who knew... Im remembering it now. Walked into a store and they had 6-7 sitting there for $299 each. Wasnt even that long ago. Couple of years. I checked serial number on mine on Ratnik database, it's a repro but notch looks identical to one on confirmed OG sniper.
Why worry 'bout it's value if it's banned?
