Hi guys,
I need some help. Ok, heres whats up. I got a neat .303 british semi-auto lately. Its based on the SVT40 receiver/gas system, and was made by Globe firearms in the 50's/60's in Canada here. I really want to scope it, and found an awesome home made scope mount on E-bay that consisted of a SVT40 dust cover with a Leupold base and rings attached to it. It was exactly what I was looking for. I followed the auction for 6 days, then was getting ready to snipe it ;-) and placed my bid in the last 8 seconds.... Well at the next screen a flipping ITAR warninfg comes up and I read the first bit and clicked OK and sure enough the auction had ended and I lost it! The stupid ITAR screen made me loose the auction..... My primary shipping addy is in the US, so I didnt expect to see that.... I wont go any more into this as it just angers me to the point i could get a ban here if I go off.... :-( ARRRGGGGG.
So... what Im needing is a used SVT 40 dust cover, or any info as to where I can find one? I want to build my own scope base for the rifle, but I really dont want yo use the one on the rifle, as its in new condition, its perfect, so Id like to save it as I dont want to drill/weld on it.
can anyone help me find one here so I can attempt to make a quality mount for my new find?
Thanks for your time!
