Happy to have two SVT's in my collection: a 1941 Izhevsk and a 1941 Poldosk.

The Izhevsk is a bit of a mess - refurbished, none of the numbered parts match and I had to restock it in an AVT-40 stock because some shaped a pistol grip into the original stock. (Nicely done, but not appropriate).

The Poldosk is a bit nicer. It's also an arsenal refurb (with plum colored metal), but the numbered parts match (the bolt carrier as force matched).

Of course, I have my eyes out for reasonably priced Tula... 😉

Very nice pair.  There is nothing wrong with a non matching refurbed SVT-40 though. 100 times better than not having one at all. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice pair. I only have one SVT-40. You certainly got the hard one out of the way, with that Podolsk  thumb1  8)

I kind of fell into it...the seller was trying to finance another project so it was a pretty sweet deal to boot!

Nothing wrong with an AVT stock.  When the imports came in, that's the way one of mine was stocked.  IMHO, the AVT stock is better, since it's beefier.  My other had an original stock an is a Finnish capture (I've posted the stock pinning process here earlier.  Kinda looked like Pin Head).  Yours look good, and as was said earlier, it's better to have one than not thumb1
