A pretty non import marked arsenal 974

[SVT-40]

I was going to mention the Precision Degree Rifle.... until you said you were the one who owned it...lol.

That precision rifle has always been one of my unicorns to find, since supposedly there were 400 sold according the letter.

Until last year, yours was the only known one. Then I was contacted by someone else who has one. But yours is still a mystery.... because of the "accuracy gun" chinese characters. This other gun, is not only an older rifle, but has no such markings like yours. Yet, this person bought it new from Navy Arms, still has the box, and even the Navy Arms paper it was wrapped in, along with the invoice stating the serial and saying it's a precision degree model. But there is nothing on the rifle identifying it as such, like yours has.

I had two of them... Sold one to a good friend about 5 years ago... Both had the "Precision Degree Gun" markings...

Both came from the same source.

Do you have any idea what is different about the gun vs a standard SKS?

Sorry to hijack your 974 thread, there's just zero info on these guns other than yours.

Im sure the non import marked ones can be easily explained away by either,
0h **** the ups truck is here, stuff 2 more in that crate so we can ship them.
or
Someone puts the whole wrong crate on a truck,
or, and doubly so if it was me working there,
f**k the markings, im using my employee discount and having one of the nicer ones for myself.

I imagine the OP's rifles from a single importer is probably a very rare or only case of an importer willing to risk the legal consequences just to avoid marking firearms for his personal collection.
