Nice pic !! SVT-40 and Belomorkana I think ?
I don't know, the more I look at it the more it looks like an SKS.It looks to be about the same length as the RPK whereas a Mosin or SVT would be noticeably longer,its a shame the focus isn't a bit better.Belomorkanal's are awful, they are more like floor sweepings than tobacco!!!.

Defo not a Mosin, but SVT or SKS ? you could well be right with the size and looking carefully I think I can nearly make out the folded fascist stabber...

Pfff.... Gauloises Troupes for MRE breaky make Belomorkanal taste like true luxury ... well sort of ...

According to John Kerry, this is the smoking proof Putin is supplying high tech hard-ware to the separatists hell-bent on destroying the nice Ukrainians helicopters protecting the Sloviansk civilian population.

Either that or the last time it was fired in anger, tovarish Vladimir (Lenin that is) was still probably doing sand castles on the black sea... O:-)

The old Vintovka Mosina keeps on going.......it wasn't all that long ago that some Spetsnaz units were still using them in Chechnya.

Over painted and over pimped. :lol:
They've done just about everything wrong as regards "improving" it. Not much of a cheek weld either, more of a chin weld. :lol:

Still wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of it!.

I wouldn't class a painted stock and a modern scope as over-pimped, at least it isn't plastered in "Tacticool" tat.........
