Anyone know a place that produces or carries reproduction SVT-40 bayonets? I'm looking for one to round out a rifle I have but I'm only finding originals, which is great except the $250 price tags kind of make me choke.
 
AFAIK, no one makes repros. The demand isn't high enough to justify production at an economically viable level.

Did some poking around and found a farmyard dug-up, pretty corroded one up for auction in Latvia. Starting bid $50, and you'd have to make the handle scales and pommel for it.

TBH, it's kind of a cool item, and I would leave this one unrestored in a glass case if I bought it.

Best bet is to watch evil-bay like a hawk and try and catch a deal. SVT-40 bayos are far less numerous than the rifles, but they do show up from East Euro sellers every now and then when someone finds one in a barn or some such.

If price of bayo shocks you then wait until you want to get original mount.

Actually there are "repros". Some believe they are authentic Polish post war reworks, I believe they are most likely "fakes" or "repro" (whichever your political correctness level is).

Regardless of the provenance of those bayos, they're unobtanium right now. A few might be circulating on the secondary market, but they aren't getting brought into the country anymore.
