Straight Pull SVT40

#1 Post by Blighty »

Now then. I've found at one of our Firearm Emporiums a straight pull, UK legal, SVT40 faux sniper. I have no interest in this particular rifle however I would love a straight pull SVT. Lots of talk about the SLRs that members have but no mention of these. Who made them and where can I get one?

CPG design. Don't want to waste money on a fake 'scope and mount however I reckon the rifle would look good in the cabinet. Surely if enough of us wanted one someone could be found to make them? Also the original rifles would be much cheaper than SLRs.

That's the feller! CPG is the seller. £1800 = eek! Originals snipers weren't all that accurate.

We have pawdled them at the HBSA meetings. Nice bits of kit, but not worth £1800.
