My little family of svt-40's with bayonet's

Dalek, you're looking considerably more stressed in the pic compared to the last time I saw you LOL

The electric gate? I don't think its running yet - should be running shortly according to the newsletter. If you have the new style club ID card you should be good to go.

I've got an SVT and a Mosin PU sniper I've got to get running smooth and sighted in this spring. Just got a Russian SKS as well to tie me over until I can shoot the CZ again.

I just got a mosin but I think an SVT will be my next purchase. Whats the major difference between the muzzle ports?

Muzzle port difference?

Early models have 6 to a side and late models have 2 to a side.

That's pretty much it.

IMHO, the SVT-40s with the earlier muzzle ports (i.e. 6 to a side) look way more badass. :)
 
The inverted blade in Janzen's notebook page 166 lists it as Russian model 1938G - Tokarev.
It is a shorter version and conversion of the long M1938g blade later in the war.
The explanation in some of my books are confusing but the 38 is earlier pattern.

Hmmm...my understanding was that the blade up version was made in early 1940 and then it was changed to blade down. So I have a 1938G bayonet! Cool! Thanks for the info albayo! I wonder why they went from blade up to down? Were the Russians the only one's to make a blade up bayonet? Here is an interesting link:

The Czechoslovakian VZ bayonets had the cutting edge on the top. The Czech bayonets without the muzzle rings are German occupation bayonets, some were converted by removing the ring and others were manufactured that way.
The Austrians-Hungarian had the cutting edge on the top of their 1895 bayonets.

To each their own but I'm the kind of guy that would buy more ammo or another gun for that price!

Like you say, "To each their own". A lot of guys buy the SVT and the SKS as a shooter because they are so cheap and don't really care about the history/collectible part which is fine with me as long as they don't "bubbafy" their firearms lol.
