Doubly Rare SVT-40

[Goo98]

Worst gas block ever.

 

[wbaad]

bring her back! not too difficult. Do you have a donor?
oh wait

 

[gaff]

your a lucky bast...

 

[CanadianAR]

why would they make them in x54r there was next to no ammo in country for that at the time

Well they didn't "make" them into x54, that's how they were so less work. And I guess you should ask globco, I just know they were like that, not why.

 

[Goo98]

I had one of those globeco's, barrel has been shortened and I believe the cleaning rod retainer won't work if you replace the muzzle break

Basically together the cleaning rod retainer and the cleaning rod would keep each other in place, though with the rod removed the retainer would just fall out.

I posted somewhere else about restoring this exact Globeco model, didn't break the bank too much actually...

It's pretty much the only Globeco that can be reasonably restored, so worth a shot I suppose.

What did you pay?
Did anyone else bid on it?

 

[Cocked&Locked]

It is NOT 303. They look different. They made 303, and x54r ones.

The barrel is most definitely cut, it will not ever retain the cleaning Rod, nor cycle properly.


In this config the gas port is right at the end, it's supposed to have another 4 inches of barrel.

I've owned an identical one. Hard to resto, didn't cycle worth a f**k. And didn't hold in a cleaning Rod. Lol.

I had one of these in 7.62x54 as well. Actually ran down a muzzle attachment before i realized that the barrel was cut back and it couldn't be restored without a new barrel...sold it off for what i paid for it and wrote it off to learning experience.

No one in the room was bidding on it besides me, so I was up against at least one online bidder. Price went from $175 to $450 and then at check out with your buyers premium and taxes, she was almost $560 all in

Some men do just want to watch the world burn.

 

[1rstEncountr]

What's the one on top that wood grain wow

 

[cantom]

Is it just a matter of swapping a barrel in from a Russian rifle?

 

[DJdeadlyDALEK]

I don't think I'll need to since the barrel doesn't appear to be cut down

 

[cantom]

I never noticed...how are the flash hiders installed? Threaded on?

 

[DJdeadlyDALEK]

To be sure though, once I get in some spare parts (or cannibalize one of mine), I'll take it in to a gunsmith for a look see

 

[DJdeadlyDALEK]

Never pulled one of mine off, so I'm not sure but will find out soon for you

 

[cantom]

Wow...looking at the pics from the first post...the barrel does look bobbed. As someone said, there needs to be 4" or so of bbl past the gas cylinder hole for the action to function. And it looks like it ends right there.

Dude, it's been cut. There's no debating it.


This is how it should be, yours is cut right after the threads.

 

[SA85M1]

Still worth restoration though....

 

[tootall]

I just had a closer look at my guns.
The rifling goes right to the ports in the brake, so your barrel has been bobbed.
IDK for sure, but I suspect that the brake/front sight/bayo lug assembly is somehow sweat soldered onto the barrel.

Just noticed CanAR pic now. (I guess he posted while I was checking...)
