Does anyone on these boards actually own the elusive 1945 svt 40?

Joce had one, sold it to someone on here. He might post below. I've actually held it in my hands, too but he wouldn't sell such a rarity. Great guy, too

There's actually another thread on here from a couple years back with pics Ryan at SFRC found one in a shipment and set is aside for himself but forgot to tell his staff. They packed it up and sent it out to a kid named Tyler something on here and he was very excited to get such a rare rifle. Also wouldn't sell it

 

[Dad003]

not in my safe unfortunately

 

[Flamingchicken]

[DJdeadlyDALEK]

Yeah, that might be as close as you get to a '45 dated one lol

That is SVT-40 made from recycled SVT-38 receiver.

I asked Ratnik how many were actually made and dated 1945.
He says only about 1000 ever made. Damn few remain now...

 

[DJdeadlyDALEK]

Yeah, I've heard 1000 - 5000. It was made for three days of that year only

 

[DJdeadlyDALEK]

Double post

 

[TV-PressPass]

Other than the fact that there were only 1000 made, is there anything distinctive about the '45 models?

Here's some snaps from some guy back in 2012:

 

[Horilka]

All (several) known 1945 SVTs have same prefix АГ and serials below 999. Thus "1000" conclusion. The rifle on top looks very familiar. I think there are at least 3 in Canada.

 

[DJdeadlyDALEK]

Looks familiar, eh? Lol lol lol
