**RUSSIAN PTRD 41. (C&R) (DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE). SN EU370. Cal. 14.5MM. 48″ bbl. Model PTRD 41. Year of mfg. 1942. Bolt does not match receiver number, nor does bbl match receiver number, but is all of correct vintage and cataloger does not doubt that this is the way that this was brought back. Action functions smoothly when cycled by hand. This weapon appears fully functional. Cheek rest, grips, and receiver to bbl retaining screw are not present. In order for receiver to fit tightly on bbl assembly, it needs the bbl retaining screw, otherwise, it requires to be screwed 45 degrees further in order to be tight. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance – there is a very little finish remaining. Weapon covered with a gray patina, and significant pitting on receiver and behind bolt handle. Grips are not present, but bore is surprisingly very good. Mechanism is tight and crisp. The recoil spring tension is appropriately strong. This relatively rare yet historic and effective Russian anti-tank rifle would make a fine edition to either a Russian military collection or a destructive device collection. The fact that the bore is very good, more than offsets the missing pieces which would be relatively straight forward to make. This was amnesty registered while owner worked at OSSG. Ordnance School, MCB, Quantico, VA. 4-37478 JWK10 (2,000-4,000)
