Looks a hell of a lot better than before, good job. Hard part will be to find an original full length mag.

 

[CanadianAR]

found one, just have to pay the man and wait for shipping.

You're laughing then!

 

[CanadianAR]

still need a cleaning rod and the cleaning rod latch, but they are no big deal to me.

 

[louthepou]

Good job!

Where did you find the muzzle brake / suppressor / whatchamightcallit?

 

[juanvaldez]

Knock the finish down with some steel wool and it will look a little better, looks a little too glossy. I used to like new shiny finishes on milsurps but your better off to leave em unless bubbaed beyond hope.

Good job, Try Zefarm.net for some SVT parts..

 

[CanadianAR]

yeah i know its a bit too glossy, i used some outdoor sealer, cause I shoot in the winter and figured a bit of waterproofing never hurt anybody.

what do i do with the steel wool?

 

[CanadianAR]

actually the muzzle brake came from a friends random junk heap.....

I think Epps had a rod in the this and that parts listings. Check with them for your latch parts too.

That looks great! Glad to see it's back to original.

I take it that it wasn't reamed to .303?

 

[juanvaldez]

rub it with super fine steel wool, the fisnish will dull down and look like an oil finish

Heres the story. I bought an SVT-40 sight unseen from a guy my friends knew. He assured me it was a bit rough but cycled properly and has a good bore. So I bought it. When I picked it up I found that it was pretty rough, but with a bit of work I think I have breathed some new life into this old girl.
Last thing I am waiting for is a unaltered magazine.


After some sandpaper, stain, sealant, some new parts, paint and alot of time.

This was my first time doing any sort of wood refinishing let alone a stock. I am open to criticism, I know its not perfect.

I see it so often now...
a Gun is exposed on a used bed with wrinckled bed sheets !!
whats wrong with you guys ? why don't you get a real girl friend?????

'Cause these things usually go off when you want them to!! The girls, not so much

 

[CanadianAR]

sorry polaris, maids day off.

and who wants a real girl friend, then you can't put guns on the bed.

 

[CanadianAR]

no it has retained it 762x54r heritage, thank god

As long as you have one (or 2 or 3) M44 on top of the SVT, you are good to go.

Looking for a SVT40 myself, paased up on one 2 months ago which I should have bought in hindsight.

Enjoy, nice job!

 

[CanadianAR]

i dont have m44 yet. I do have an 91/30 tho

its on my list with about 12 other guns.....all in good time. I just bought a bushmaster so I have to slow down for a bit now. Ive only had my license 4 months.....
