Theres a carbine version, it fires the 7.62x54 cartridge, some say it's comparable to a garand in most respects.

Also, don't shoot fancy ammo out of it. The gas system it uses BUTHERS brass. Stick to cheap, surplus stuff.
SVT-40 Stands for (in English) Self loading Tokarav. Created by F. Tokarav, it fires the 7.62x54R Round. The SVT has a carbine full auto version the AVT. The SVT has been used throught WWII. Russian made, but they didn't like it. Mostly built in Tula, Izshavik, and one other arsenals. Russians like nice, simple, effective. But this isn't. The Germans and Finns worked with it and loved it. Thats why if you look at WWII Eastern Front pics, you'll find Germans with it. After the war it was used as a hunting rifle, or put in surplus.
The rifle itself has a gas regulator that has 5 sides. If you buy a rifle, buy the SVT tool. Like the Garand, its very useful, especially in adjusting the gas regulator. Hooded front sight, bolt can be taken apart, um...., Oh, personal experience...When breaking down the rifle, be careful!!!! When your taking off the cover over the bolt, keep your thumb on that long recoil spring all the time you don't have it against something non moving....almost lost it twice!!!!!!!!

Fluted chamber so it messes up the cases. There are lots of loose metal and wood parts on the front end, and looseness makes for vertical strings. You can't strip it on any old surface. You need something to lay out your parts properly.
If it has SA on the receiver ring, it was captured by the Finnish Army in WWII. If there are cute laser engraved proof marks it is a new import from the Ukraine. If it looks like a butchered SVT, it is probably a Globeco Mohawk/Tommahawk/Buggerfest, and not worth the money. There are few salvageable spare parts and the mags have been modified for 303 BR.
