SVT 40 Gas tool

[jfred]

Do any of the CGN retailers sell the gas system adjustment tool for the SVT 40? I want to take mine out shooting, but I don't until I'm able to adjust the gas system to take care of any reliability issues from having it set too low or too high.

P.S militaria have them. You can also remove the metal handguard,loosen the gas tube and turn the regulator with your finger then you retight the gas tube securely. I did this until i got a tool.

P&D has originals, but they usually only sell them if you buy a rifle. Frontier Firearms or TradeEx might have some. Each crate of 15 x rifles came with two Gas adjustment tools and two stock nut tools. PS has nice repro wrenches. These tools are kicking around.

As mentioned, with the metal hand guard off, you can adjust the gas system internally and set your gas setting that way.

Or you can get a repro tool from here. They do ship to Canada.

I also got mine from Blackriver. A great guy, makes the tools and it was $12.00 plus a couple for shipping, well worth the phone call or web visit !

Agreed. Cheapest price for a well made tool.
