SVT-40 Official Manual

[Travis Bickle]

Hey all,

I've located only one actual operators manual for my SVT-40 and downloaded it for free. The only problem is that my Russian language skills are rusty....or non-existant lol
From looking at it though, it is a mountain of information on the rifle. I've seen a couple sites offering a "translated" version of the official Soviet manual for "x" amount of dollars. But I'm skeptical as to who translated them or how close it mirrors the actual manual etc.
Anyone have a translated English version or at least a reliable trustworthy source for a copy, electronic or paper?

I have that one that already, thanks
I have an extremely detailed one also. It's in Russian. It looks like a copy of the original from the Soviet army. It goes into painstaking detail on every aspect of the rifle ( about 75 pages of drawings and information! ) I'm trying to find a translated copy.
It has to be out there somewhere

Has anybody ever laid eyes on the German manual for it?

 

[Travis Bickle]

No actualy I have heard of it but have never seen it.
Apparently the Germans were pretty fond of said rifle.

I have the full 100+ odd Page Russian Manual for the SVT-40. Uploaded it to: http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/304385/SVT-40-Russian-Version-pdf.html

If for some reason you can't download it, LMK and I'll host it. Note that the file is big ~ 18.74MB

And an English translation of the the Swedish Manual for the SVT-40 can be found here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/36557175/ljungmann-ag-42b

I don't own this rifle yet and have been researching it for a bit, hence the info stash

I had the Russian manual already.
But the English Swedish one is new to me.
More information is always good.
Thank you very much
I recomend it highly. They are awsome rifles. Surprisingly accurate and easy on the shoulder and wallet for surplus ammo.

The second link is NOT for an SVT 40, but for the AG 42-B, a similar looking Swedish rifle. Thanks for the first link though!

Somewhere though, there is an English translated version of the original Russian manual.
Apparently these guys were selling it:

But the contact e-mail addresses are no longer assigned, the publisher cannot be contacted and the web site was last updated about 2007 lol
It is out there........
