Picked up that $950 SVT-40 with bayonet. Very nice rifle overall with a VG+ bore and 95% metal finish. Very deep blue, really well done for a refurb in my opinion. Only part that isn't 'matching' is the magazine, which I hear is quite normal. AVT-40 stock is nice as well, really chunky feel to it which I like. I think I did well for the price, the bayonet was a nice bonus as well. Can't wait to get her out on the range, internals all look almost new!

Great price, but the stock is a little too shiny for my taste...I would be seeking to get that finish off if were it mine..some folks need to sand and polish military rifles and I guess they can if they like, but me I like them original or as close as can be achieved.

I've owned half a dozen over the years and none of them had been sanded with fine grit sandpaper, that thing shines like new penny.
