They have arrived!! Still not sure what I'm looking at. But it is identical to the one in the ae50.net posted by MP43. Same markings on the receiver. So I think it's a Tokarev SVT-40. He sent me tons of stuff I wasn't expecting. It's funny he told my mom if I wasn't happy with them just bring them back and he would refund me my money. I had to call him and tell him how happy I was. He was relieved that I was happy with them. Great day.
The SKS is not original. It's been parkerized and the bolt cover has been changed out for one with a scope mount. What's the best way to check the SKS origin?? The SKS is a very nice looking gun just not original. He said he has had it for close to 30 yrs. Trying to get pics up loaded. Thanks MP43. You've been a ton of help.
Let's see some pics. Here's a great site on the SKS. http://www.yooperj.com And the FAQ on sksboards http://www.sksboards.com/smf/index.php?topic=33896.0
Hope this works. Had to get off the Ipad and back on the old desk top. These are the SVT-40 pics. Let me know if there is a diff. pic you want to see and I will try and get a shot. The mag release on it is neat how it fold up. Looks like the stock and bolt #s match but the magazine has a diff. # on it.
This is the SKS and the Glock 22. And all the extra stuff I didn't know he was sending. 800rds of 40 S&W, 50rds of 45acp, 400rds of 7.62x54r SP BT 180gr. brass, and 820rds of 7.62x39..... Today was like Christmas.
OK the SVT-40 is a 1941 Ishevsk. The bolt is a purplish color. It's a refurb bolt. I've been studying all day on this thing. And feel like I don't know ****. Do you guys shoot yours or just keep it in the safe???
I don't have one, but it would be tough not to shoot it. Sounds like the stocks take a beating though.
