Hey, folks--
I just laid down something in excess of $700 for a CMP M-1 (plus shipping and a case of Lake City 30-06), so I didn't expect myself to be back in the market for a rifle so soon.
But, I have a chance at an SVT-40, and it's something I've wanted for a while, and something that doesn't pop up every day.
I'm waiting on pictures, right now, so I don't yet know that much about it. I'm told it's a 1942 Tula with an AVT stock. Comes with the obligatory one magazine. The bore is said to be good to very good.
Is $570 (the asking price) too high? The seller has a couple of extra mags, and is likely to ask $80 bucks a pop.
I'd prefer to have a figure I could offer him for the whole lot.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
