New to me. Been looking for one for a long time. Unfortunately it was damaged in shipping.

Very nice.  I'd love to have one of those.

 

How was it damaged?

Indeed.

This unfortunately is how...the arsenal repair got knocked loose and the stock is cracked below that...as well as a part on the grip.

Ouch! That is a shame.

[MrBrian]

Can we fix it?

Jeez, nice broken rifle.

[Ramjo]

Replacement stocks are expensive...mr Brian and I will pull it apart and glue/clamp and pin it together. I wouldn't bother with it except that it's the original matching numbers stock. The magazine is the only mismatched part on the gun.

Man... that sucks.  Can you file a shipping damage claim?

[DMark]

Once the stock is all good-to-go...., do yourself a favor before shooting it and get this gas system adjustment tool from Black River Gunsmithing.

I wasted a lot of time and ammo back when I got my SVT-40 wondering why it wouldn't cycle.  The gas regulator has to be adjusted and this tool is the only thing in the world that seems to be the correct odd-ball size that the commie system came up with. 

 

Also, most of the gas regulators will have some pitting as the results of corrosive ammo.  If the regulator won't turn easy, drop some Kroil around it and let it soak overnight.

I've taken pictures and I'm gonna set up an account with the shipper and file a claim and see what happens.

Hopefully the carrier can do something to aid in your disappointment, even if they can't help with the rifle. What an awesome piece of world history you have there!

Great to see that your SVT-40 runs.  Good fortune finding a replacement stock.  :up:

LOL We have a 30 acre farm. I've got 300 yards to stretch out the rifles...if it weren't for the hills there would be more.
