Very nice! I can vouch for the flyer aspect- always felt there was a resonance issue where the recoil shockwave somehow hindered the sear catching properly, but for me it was almost always the the second round, the fourth, the sixth,... Gets too much attention at the range and besides, the second round was always high off the target....

Very, very nice! I'm a little jealous! The SVT is the last on my semi auto WWII list to get!

Attachment 78867Attachment 78868Miller Tyme: Nice looking rifle. Be sure the receiver is snug in the stock before trying for accuracy! I find the bedding with refurbed SVT's to be highly variable. Some have clearly floated barrels, some have good forend tip pressure, and some are indeterminate! My personal opinion, base on my '43 "Bulgarian light refurbs" is that Tula eventually settled on floating barrel which was obtained by inletting the rear deck of the stock. Regarding the flyers, I was under the impression, from the Chumak book, that it was shot number one from a new mag that was the common wild shot. In his lengthy discussion of this Chumak suggests they ultimately concluded it was shifting of the front bedding point on the metal ring of the lower guard that caused the problem- floating the barrel would take this out of the equation. Among my SVT's I've had ones that are just plain inaccurate but haven't run into one that was plagued by single flyers. The photos show my '41 refurb Tula sniper on which I use a repro mount and original '42 scope. Note the two wrist bolts. I had to shim the receiver but it will do 1.5 inch groups with quality ammo.

Have one (not a sniper) and have never shot it? Will have to do that one day, I guess.
Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?
