Excellent photos!! I do not think this is an original sniper for two reasons - lack of the proper markings on the right side of receiver and more importantly the serial number. Looks like a nice SVT40 and would be fun to shoot with a scope - might as well take advantage of the notch! You might as well post pictures of the non-factory notch, too.
