1943 Tula SVT40. This is not a typical refurb. This one has all it's original stamped matching parts, including the stock. These are referred to as "Bulgarian refurbs" and have some distinct characteristics: original stamped matching parts, re-stamp of the original serial number in a vertical orientation, and sloppy finish applied on the stock. These also have magazines with markings that are associated with Bulgaria, although Bulgaria never fielded these. They are not import marked, so these were some of the first SVT40's to be imported to the US. Collectors like these rifles because they are one small step away from a factory original.
Looking for a face to face transaction and I'm interested in military and military style rifles.
