Here are a few photos of zeebill's 1941 Tula SVT-40 refurbed sniper rifle. I don't know a lot about these, I hope Bill can fill in the details on this one. It is in fantastic condition. Thanks again Bill!

SVT40, the only rifle in my collection that I have had to repair because somebody launched the internal parts out the window. Keep it locked up and don't let anybody alone with it. Worse, I had to buy the replacement parts twice because I lost the first set because I procrastinated about putting them in. I did find the missing parts, two days ago while looking for a book, there they were, still in the Numrich package.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Nice; SVT 40's always intrigued me; I like handling them at gun shows, though as you've found out, JYD, they are buggers to work on.....alas another dream shot to hell.

Yes they are, I know how to field strip it without insident, the friend I left alone in the room with the rifle while I hit the head didn't.

I think he'd be an ex-friend after that stunt
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

He paid for it, and when I lost the new parts I paid for the second set, then I found the first set, never fails. He tried to open the action and launched a spring and guide out the window were it vanished into tall grass and shrubs.

Beautiful sniper ;) I once had six of them in the sniper version in my collection and had four of them scoped and shot them I did and they were all good shooters....... as long as you remmebred the first shots out of all of them went 14-15" to the right if I remember right....... odd quirk. After the first shot back on zero???? One of them was a non-refurbed matching to the mag except a later model scope, no import marks or refurb as you could tell it never went back to the shop but was not finn marked in any way. Shouldnt of let that one go ........... Hows this one shoot? Its a gem

Stick with the M1's. An easy to strip semi-auto.
