Humm.. very interesting... I dont think its Russian... any markings that you can see on it? Proof marks or such? That would help greatly...
built from an SVT ( or likely an AVT..)??/
For me, it looks like heavily Frankenstained... Tokarev SVT-40
I mean, shape of receiver (with apparent stripper clip guides on the top cover) and bolt handle cut, placement of the rear sight, shape and placement of safety behind the trigger.. The pistol grip unit with folding stock looks like an afterthought, as well as a front of the barrel ahead of the gas block and front sight
Overall, I'm puzzled

SVT-92S/SVT-92SM
The SVT-92S and SVT-92SM, in which the "S" stands for Skladnoy, meaning "folding", is a variant of the base SVT-92 with a folding, skeleton stock created from pressed iron. This variant is most well-known for having a rear pistol grip to keep a folded stock from interfering with combat effectiveness. The skeleton stock reduces weight by about three fourths of a kilogram.
During the American occupation of Canada, the M23 (alongside the Chinese Type 93) was used by many Canadian guerrillas. American soldiers came to know the rifle as the "can-opener" for the way that the large round would often shatter the ceramic armors the Americans wore. However, when faced with powered armor, the M23 did very little.
