$200 SVT 40s!

[Mobular]

Just a heads up for everyone...Lever Arms just dropped the price of their SVT 40s to $200! The price will be held until Dec.23rd. Only 1940-43 are available. Now I wish I had not bought one just last week from them.......

Ordered! Thanks for the heads up

Oh god, why. Why must my wallet suffer so.

They dropped their SKSs to $159 again too. I knew there was a reason they were giving away empty crates that hold 15...

Well I was looking at one for a while I am glad I was holding off. Now I just have to have to decide if my finances will let me add a second sks to my collection.

$200 for a svt 40 is crazy

Of the hand select options what would make for the "nicest" svt..?

Sorry .
I've never had a problem with them , even when old Al was there .
I might just go for the SVT special @ $199.00 .
I like the fact they state in the ad that these rifles do not have the sniper notch on the receiver !

Depends. I prefer the older brake with more gills. The "navy" stock is a bit thicker and usually surplus from the AVT model (full auto) as it has the safety notch on both sides. Otherwise it depends on colour of stock, condition etc.

Make sure there's nothing funny with the magazines. Those alone are hard to get and cost a lot. If it's some sort of butcher job on the pinning then that $200 deal isn't so good.

The Kovrov is considered rarer than the Tula or Izhevsk. Later such as 1943 and older are rarer as well. Sniper models with the notch out of the back (not just rails) are also considered more desirable.

Kovrov

Tula

Izhevsk

Thanks a lot epoxy, I am looking for a cheap plinker. Sounds like this might work out pretty well.

All depends on what you find desirable. A non-force matched stock without wood repairs is harder to find. Mags are electropencilled and are never matched to the rifle. Early and late style muzzle brakes are hit and miss as to being place on the right era of rifle after refurb. 40 to 42 have the 12 port brake and 42 to 45 have the 4 port. 1940 to 42 have the nicest metal finishing. Later years are rougher as the pressure was on to pump more rifles out. The niceties were not needed to have a good shooting rifle. The "sniper" versions have a scope notch on the rear of the receiver is much harder to find and command a higher price.
