I picked this sniper rifle up from R-Guns back in 2011 after they had stated they where out of Tula's. Its a all stamped matching 44 Tula with all Tula parts except for the bolt head and cocking hammer, which could be easly switched but I want to keep it as delievered from it's last refurb. It still retains it's original 44 Tula stock although the hand gaurd appears to have been replaced. It has a 1941 Progress SVT scope and has the late war stamped sheet metal magazine cover.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!
