My favorite toy rifle. Its most fun when it slam fires with soft primers reloads. BRRRT and mag is empty, but pants are full

I'll kick myself forever for not getting one of these when they were only a few hundred bucks.

So Ian definitely checked my guide at m9130.info/svt and he got most of facts about SVT-40 straight, however the other things he was saying about pre-SVT Soviet firearms were funny. No, in 1930 Degtyarev rifle was not accepted (it was never accepted) and SKS was not "accepted in 1945 and got to manufacturing only in 1949". SKS-45 manufacturing started in 1948 and it was officially accepted along with AK-47 in 1949, SKS as semi carbine and AK as full-auto assault rifle.

That was me missing out on the $200 - $400 Breda Garands ....

Those who survive can upgrade to something better.

I wish I had bought a svt40 sniper when they were $600 or so at Lever Arms.

Love this rifle, I've got 4 of them lol. A couple wear an AVT 40 stock. Can't believe what they are going for now
