Wow. They crated up some nice ones to ship to the frozen north. Great looking gun!
No words of wisdom come to mind at this time....
Re: I joined the SVT-40 club.
Took it to the range this afternoon and had a blast,a really really loud blast,you don't want to shoot this without hearing protection.lol
But the giggle factor is sky high on this gun.It's like a sks on steroids. I even managed to bumpfire it without breaking my thumb and that's a good thing.The only drawback I can see with this rifle is that it's a lot more complicated to strip down to clean compared to a SKS but some time cleaning guns is fun in itself.
Anyway it's a fun gun and I'm very happy with it.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Good for you. Here is a link to a tool that is used for the gas adjustment, http://www.blackrivergunsmithing.com/to ... ories.html
My SVT shoots well with silvertip Bulgarian ammo. Tuning it in after cleaning can be a chore, but it shoots and sounds fantastic.

Re: I joined the SVT-40 club.
Wow, beautiful rifle and amazing price. Way more $$ down here. I have heard the SVTs are kinda difficult to take down and can have corrosion issues using corrosive ammo. Normally I am against altering any old milsurps, but as a preservative measure, is it possible to send the rifle to a shop and have the internals coated to help prevent damage and preserve them? Just curious, as I hope to get one in the future.

Re: I joined the SVT-40 club.
They are really not that bad to clean, they just have more parts to clean than normal. I wouldn't coat it with anything as the Russians did a good job of setting tolerances.

Re: I joined the SVT-40 club.
Congrats on the SVT !!
Breaking down and cleaning is rather fun on an SVT as it is like a puzzle... but for adults !!!

Re: I joined the SVT-40 club.
I was at a show this weekend, and there was one nice svt-40 for $1200. I didnt even pick it up to look at it. every time I see one, I think of the Canadians and the 1/4 priced -40's, and I cant justify the high $.
Congrats on a nice rifle.

Re: I joined the SVT-40 club.
I'm in the process of selling mine as I don't care for the hour+ it takes to clean it properly.
I've had it long enough, time for someone else to play with it.
Sold it for $1175 the first day it was posted.

Re: I joined the SVT-40 club.
Sorry about this but... with the Christmas deal I got at Lever Arms in British Columbia, you could have bought 6 SVT-40s for the price of the one you saw at the show.fintowin wrote:I was at a show this weekend, and there was one nice svt-40 for $1200.

Needless to say I bought two, one for me and one for my son.
Given our gun laws and our 5 round max for mags, we have to catch our breaks where we can.

I'd love to find an SVT-40 in the U.S. for anywhere even remotely close to what the OP paid for his.

Re: I joined the SVT-40 club.
You can say that again. After my last cleaning I have decided not to shoot it again till I start reloading. Then I will set the gas to 0 and hand cycle.redeuce wrote:Make sure you clean it well. Ain't easy.

I've walked by that rack at P&D too many times. Always tempting to pick one up. Nice rifle!
