[why2kmax]

Cuz you cant stop at 1

1943 Round Mosin. Bought it just because it was $129 a few years ago. didnt have my C&R license then. Not even sure where the heck I bought it.









1944 M44 I got at a Timonium show in 2009










1936 HEX Mosin. Got this one from Classic a few weeks ago. Finally got enough of the Cosmo off to take a picture.









1941 SVT-40. Wanted one for the longest time. Resistance is futile, so I Gave up and bought this off GB a month ago. Needs a bayonet and a correct sling

Your SVT has the AVT40 stock too like mine. I read slings for those are ultra rare. Wonder if one could modify a mosin and/or svs sling to get 'close enough'. Anyway, keep an eye out for an extra one of both sling/bayo if you find two

Your hex Tula looks great in that laminate stock! I got a hex Tula laminate a few months ago from South Carroll Sporting Goods.

they sent me a good one. I just have to remember to be careful and not bang it around. I swear I put more dings and scratches in my other mosin than the Red Army did when they actually used them.

PPSH slings are an acceptable substitute until you cross paths with an SVT40 sling. The canvas versions can be had for under $15.
Just be sure you can properly ID an SVT sling as eBay always has people trying to sell various cheap slings as SVT40 slings-at authentic sling prices.

Short version-
AVT40 was full auto version of SVT40. To handle the full auto, it had a beefier stock. Many refurb SVT's have been refitted with AVT stocks.
