SVT 40!

[Big Mack 5]

Just picked this bad boy up today. It's a 1941 Tula manufactured and she's in beautiful shape. I'v been dying to add something nice to my WWII collection so i took the plunge... I cant wait to get it out to the range. Here's a few quick shitty picks from my phone haha.

Oh yea and dont mind the mess on my carpet, my pitbull decided to have a party with her toys while i was gone lol.

[RecessedFilter 222]

Very very nice! I have been looking to add one of those to my collection, but they are way out of my price range for a nice one. If only I got involved in shooting a few years back when everything was so much cheaper!

[RedBowTies88 41]

Im so jealous!

[BlueLineFish 615]

Wow..very nice

How much did you pay, if you don't mind me asking? This has been on my "Want" list for a while.

Paid a lot more then I had Hahaha, I just couldn't let it go though, been looking so long for a nice one it was $1400. Thank god for all the plastic in my wallet

[junkmanted 54]

very nice looking ,,

you will love it .

[Big Mack 5]

Thank you, thank you. I know I'm going to love it. As long as the weather is nice i might take out the whole WWII collection and bring it to R14 on wednesday. Probably the best thing about this gun is that it eats the 7.62x54r. Keep it fed for cheep. I'm sure ill have a 1000 round through it in no time.

Looks like my WW2 bring back. If you haven't done so already make sure you check the gas system pretty good before you shoot it and get a gas adjustment tool. I am assuming this is a mismatched Finn capture? Most of the non-refurbished guns have heavily corroded gas systems.

[halbautomatisch 60]

Really nice wood on that one!

 

You may want to invest in a gas nut wrench for it, it's pentagon shaped and a regular wrench doesn't work on it. You will probably need to adjust it to get it to throw brass correctly.

[Big Mack 5]

Took a few nice pic's picks to email to my buddy so i figured id throw them up on here as well. Forgot to also mention that its an all matching svt40, except the mag. It also has the scope notches on the receiver so ill probably pick up a P/U for it one day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[BMWR12 35]

very nice, you don't see matching guns very often. Is it SA marked on the reciever or mag?

Theres no SA on it, or any of that electro pencil bs to force match. So its probably not a Finn capture, or a russkie rebuild. The only serial numbers i could find on the bolt, trigger group, receiver, and stock are all factory stamped and matching. I have a feeling as i pull it apart to check the gas system i might find a mismatching number or two on some of the parts. Im not to familiar with how much the red's numbered everything, i just know my mosin has mismatching numbers all over it! and this only has a few numbers, but matching, accept for the date on top. The mag has two mismatching numbers on it, on the side of the mag and the bottom plate. Im thinking maybe it might be some kind of a vet bring back? I know thats a long shot but possible. Or it could have just been in good shape after the war and maybe just cleaned real good, dumped in grease and stored. Who knows??

Either way I can't wait to shoot it tomorrow. The gas system is currently set to 1.5 which seems to be were most people are shooting them at (1.3-1.5). I read that anything past 1.7 can damage the gun. I'm going out today to try and find the adjuster tool and new manufactured 54R just to test then, ill move to the mill. surplus stuff.

[Pew Pew Plates 358]

If your rifle NEEDS 1.7, it wont damage the gun, it just indicates excessive wear/corrosion. When it functions on 1.3 and you fire it at 1.7 is when you damage the rifle.

Very very nice...

Sick gun, I wish we could import from Canada, SVTs are like 350 there...

[RUTGERS95 890]

very nice....

 

one of my favorite ww2 rifles and for the life of me I can't figure out why it wasn't more successful other than manufacturing times

[blksheep 466]

Nice congrats

[everettdavis 0]

Just got a dragunov off gunbroker and I would like to add one of these since they both shoot the 7.62x54r. Anything about it I should know as far as best ammo with no malfunctions and etc.....?

[axeman_g 128]

Passed one up for 400 back in 1996... kick myself whenever used one. Very nice.

[Tallday 10]

Sweet Svt! I want I want!!

[Tallday 10]

I wish I had 695!!!! http://www.collector...arev-rifle.html

[matty 810]

Ha, that's a Canadian website. SVT's and Russian SKS's are imported into Canada. can't bring 'em here

nooooooooooooooo! : (

[Sig226GuyNJ 128]

Wow.... Absolutely gorgeous!

[matty 810]

I am not saying you can't get them here. there's a bunch in circulation. They are way more than $625 US for a nice specimen like that. Russian SKS's are north of $500-600 these days

 

nooooooooooooooo! : (

[RUTGERS95 890]

beautiful

 

why didn't the Russians produce more of these? It would seem a great firearm vs the mosin for armies.

[junkmanted 54]

heres one for you guys to research if you dont know.

 

KOVROV Arsenal and a finn capture

 

[blksheep 466]
