    I wish i had a rifle (SVT-40) Not loaded of course but my parents wont let me so i usually "pretend" i have one and i get in trouble because they don't like it. How did you get it so new did you find or buy or what?

    oiled the stock, using boiled linseed oil, and eventually you end up with a polished stock, instead of the dry appearance' as it was when I bought it..ray..

    I don't like M1928's as they are unreliable pieces of ****, but yours is beautiful. Great piece of history, cherish it!
