I love the gun socks that Cabela's sells! An awesome blankie for my babies when they are laying in their crib sleeping...

Just pasting this important info from another site if that is ok.

I'm in Alberta, Canada eh! But am originally from Halifax and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Moved to Alberta a few months ago for work.

Thanks everyone for your info!!!!!!!

Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Bill! Yes, there are reliefs cut for the safety to swing both ways. Any opinion on the A on the trigger assembly tang?

Bought this at a pawn shop a few weeks ago up here in Canada for $200. Thought I'd share some pic's. I'd like to know if the eagle is Russian or Austrian and what the G 3 underneath the eagle means.

Nice! I picked one up recently at a pawn shop for $200 also and added an 91/30 bayonet and a russian sling. It's a 1942 Tikka with Imperial Russian parts. I'd like to know if that is a Russian or Austrian eagle and what the G 3 means under it

Just want to make it clear that I'm Canadian and bought this at a local gun shop for $250. These rifles are pretty common to buy right now and in no way would I "'fudge" any part of it for resale as the market up here is glutted. Just very curious about the A on the trigger assembly tang t...

Thanks evildog!

I compared the trigger guard on this rifle to another that I have that is wider and it seems that this guard is an svt style, not AVT. Hmmm.... Would the famous Vic know the answer to the A on the trigger assembly?

Thanks Bugelson. Any thoughts on the capital A on the trigger assembly tang and no arsenal markings next to it?

Thanks Knuckledragger! If the Svt's were refurbed and put away in storage right after doesn't that imply that the stock at least was used on an AVT because of the recoil repair screws? Hmmmmm... I love a mystery lol

Thanks for your valued information Bugelson. If they stopped making AVT's in the Fall of 1943 why did they still make the stocks in 1944. I've uploaded a photo of a Naval AVT stock dated 1944 that I have in my collection. Do you know what the capital A on the trigger assembly tang stands for and why...

I just bought an SVT-40 that appears to be an ex-AVT-40 dated 1944. There is a capital A on the trigger assembly and no arsenal marking. Does it stand for AVT? This has a marked AVT stock which has two repair screws in the stock. Was it damaged while it was used as an AVT? Here is a video of an AVT ...
