svt-40 scope

I don't know why certain SVT scopes retained all SVT features during refurbishing. There are SVT xcopes that were stripped off all SVT features, there are some that have both MN and SVT features. But most were refurbished into MN specifications. Mine never went i to ruburbishing. It is as issued, all original SVT scope.
Nah ! But now i have a WTB in the EE. I hope to score at least a descent rifle. If I'm Lucky maybe I'll find a complete sniper... Who knows !
I will be patient !
just saw one ads someone sold a combo regular Tula and the other one apparently an authentic sniper. the guys says he bought from corwin
I saw that! He could have probably gotten the $675 asking price just for the sniper rifle without the scope/mount and the other complete SVT40 thrown in for free! Wish I had seen that before it was gone in record time!

I saw that too...
Like I said I will be patient. I'm looking for a fine example.
Are you saying this one wasn't a fine exemple ?
The store where seller bought it is known for making ''home made'' field notch..
I ask for pic of the notch but he never get back to me lol
Ya, it all seemed a bit "funny"
The rifle that got sold... if it was truly 1942 rifle with rails "converted" into sniper then.. how do I put it... it was a huge mistake. 1942 rifle with rails and no notch is much scarcer than 1942 sniper.

I finally field-stripped mine today and cleaned it. You know, I think it was easier than my SKS to take apart. Maybe it's because it isn't much different than my CZ-858. That's my opinion, anyways. All I heard was how complicated they are. There's a couple good vids on Youtube, and I was off to the races. Next up for me is a scope, also.
And yes, I did the "SVT-Noob" spring launch first time around, but once I got the hang of it, the bolt assembly, etc goes right in quickly and easily.

If you want to know if you have an authentic SVT sniper, check the serial numbers of yours (if you guys manage to find one) vs Ratnik's list here:

Well, here's the catch - 1942 rifles with rails and no notch have sniper prefixes or very close ones as theory goes them babies are snipers that never happened. So only notch shape could tell in this case.

No notch - nowhere to go for the cross pin.
Will tell for sure for 1941 sniper.
