Lot #1142:
(C) ASSEMBLED TULA SVT-40 SEMI-AUTOMATIC SNIPER RIFLE.
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/16/2025
Manufactured at Tula Arsenal in 1941. As standard with a blued barrel and slotted muzzle break. Hooded post front sight and 1500 meter tangent sight. Iron sights are superseded by a 1933 dated Soviet PE scope on an original SVT scope mount which is numbered but does not match the rifle. No "C" sniper proof visible on the receiver. Rear of the receiver is also not milled to lock the mount in. Matching numbers observed on receiver, bolt handle, stock, and trigger guard. Magazine is nonmatching and does not have a base plate or internals. Lot includes a period leather sling and scope covers. CONDITION: Good. Rifle retains the majority of its arsenal blue with fading, wear, and cleaned spotting. Bolt remains in the white although shows spotting and some areas of brown patina. Stocks have been cleaned and show some expected nicks and dings but are otherwise good. Defined bore with darkness in the grooves. Fine mechanics. No retaining pin present on scope mount. Optics have clouded with age.
