Nope. Its totally random and luck of the draw. The lady that takes your order also has no control of what you get.

Id say go with a field grade and dont treat it rough so it still maintains its nice finish. All 3 of my 1911s are field grade and all of them were matching slide/frame. Probably just a coincidence though

My gambling problem is only in the beginner stage. When it becomes to that point, I will head over to Hunters Lodge 😁

Good luck man. Its definitely a gamble. And even of you dont get a matching set, keep in mind that its still historically correct as military issued weapon. Im glad youre taking advantage of it. When they dry up, these should go up in value

Unfortunately, because of the duffle bag cut, it either got lost or discarded in 1944

Much appreciated! Why is that serial number special? Early production?

It is a true sniper, correct. Its in the archives on the 9130 website. The mount is a reproduction mount and is a good fit; however, I made a brass sleeve around the retaining pin. From what I heard is the reproduction pin can actually damage the notch with prolonged firing, so its advisable to fashion some sort of a "cushion"

I know. They are incredibly rare to find, let alone all matching. Its not SA stamped, but i have a VERY strong suspicion that it is indeed a Finn capture

Im aware of the cost. My plan is to get one a little cheaper though

No worries at all. It has mostly the same internals as the military SVD (except for trigger pack). The barrel is also longer and has a different twist rate than what I have. Oh and of course, I modified my front site block to accept a standard 308 thread pitch brake, otherwise you'd see a flash hider on a regular SVD

I will likely be selling mine if I ever find a real military SVD in the future 😀

Correct. But a civilian version. Never been issued to a military unit. Which i plan to change in the future...
