Hello All,
I was wondering what makes a Tokarev SVT-40 a Sniper.
I have A 1941 Model and it is stamped everywhere.
The serial # info. starts with HP2784 and then there is the letter 1 at an horizontal angle behind the last digit. It has the scope rails. I am also interested in learning how to tell which arsenal it was rebuilt at. All the numbers match except for the mag. and the bore looks fantastic.
Any info. on what makes it a Sniper would be much appreciated.
Best regards,Troy
