Tula SVT-40 Sniper Variant

[meyerse]

Yes, I saw that one, it was the most interesting one to me, a nice clean Kazan with no obvious refurb marks and in an SVT profile (but clearly used on a M91/30). But still over priced!

The one next to the Kharkov scope in the earlier picture was a black painted Kransnogorsk scope (aluminum body and note the turret covers).

Below is a silvered Kransnogorsk scope (1943) and a 1940 progress scope that most certainly started its life on a SVT.

The serial number starts with 43, so for a Kazan, this means a 1943 manufacture date. By this time they had abandoned the SVT sniper and were making thousands upon thousands of PU-M91/30 snipers.

I'm always looking for more Soviet stuff! If you have something to trade for the Kharkov scope we could work something out (like a Kharkov TP-4 perhaps?)
