Came home from the Expo Center gun show today with two more rifles to add to the collection.
First, a 1941 Tula SVT-40. It's in overall good shape, the muzzle brake is gone and the stock has been bubba'd a little bit but not too badly. No magazine though.
Second, an FN-49 in .30-06 produced for the Luxembourg Gendarmerie. It's in really good shape, the metal bits are all matching although some of the paint is coming off. The stock is beautiful, but isn't number-matched to the action. Wikipedia claims there were only 6,306 produced in the Luxembourg order.
I'd say it was a good day!
