My new SVT-40

[Seabassjay]

Just got the delivery today of this 1941 RPA-SVT40 Kourov. Now to clean her up and go pick up some ammo for her.





Nice addition to join the '53

Nice!

Nice, but it's Podolsk, not Kovrov.

 

[Philthy1]

Very nice, although the Seahawks flask makes me sad.

Nice rifle. Make sure she's all cleaned up before you take her for a whirl. Take her apart and check her out, just to be sure of no surprises, its a good way to learn the platform also. Happy shooting.

I'm in the process of cleaning up the 1941 Izhevsk I just picked up and hope to go out shooting this weekend.

BTW, nice wrist cross bolt... my '41 has the same thing.

That is quite correct. Just used the description from the recite but itis a Podolsk, hence the markings photo, see who noticed.

Got it from Marstar's.

Marstar has them for like 500$ right now, comes with the black hardcase, that gave it away Treat her well for that cash man

Wow they have gone up in price. What's the difference between a a Kovrov and a Podolsk?

Probably see those wristbolts on about half of them. Many have wrist cracks but some dont, so I think they started doing it as a preventative measure.

It's funny, they didn't seem to put the wrist cross bolt in on the AVT stocks but there was still reports of them cracking under the AVT's full auto function. I guess they were trying to save the manufacturing time and cost of adding them in, instead they beefed up the wood instead.

Edit- Really nice rifle by the way! How's the bore?

All crossbolts were put after the war during refurbishing process. And you can find one or two crossbolts on all kind of stocks.
