SVT 40 value?

[Dyspnea]

I had planned to buy 2 more back when they were $300. Not for investment but because I really like the rifles.
But I kept putting off the purchase, now I regret that. And my solo Svt is lonely.

I know what they are generally going for on the EE, I will be selling one to help pay for an anniversary band, 25 years of wedded bliss. Just not sure which to keep.

The guns lol

Well, contrary to what some may advise, I would definitely hang on the the Mrs. and let the guns go...

M1 is ugly and beefy compared with SVT.

Though the M-1 Garand is shorter and, due to ridiculous Canadian magazine-capacity dictates, the holder of a larger legal capacity...

When I first shouldered a SVT 40 I was {pleasantly} surprised how Nice & Point-able & Light it was. That wasnt long ago. I got lucky & did a trade for one, even though I'd been eyeing them since about the $450 mark..but glad I Finally got one about a month ago- if it wasn't for the Trade, I would still not have one. Can't wait to finally go shoot it!

I believe there are more Garands in Canada than SVT40. I suspect they'll double again from here within 5 years.

The guns lol

I was about to say the same!

well at that point I may let one of the ones I have go

sad thing is I have 2 but only 1 mag and the after market mags are not that good but stupidly expensive.

Price out a G43. They are less reliable and less well made compared to either the M1 or SVT, but look at the price. I have short production run guns in the collection that came for less than some of the much better known pieces.

2019 Ford Ranger $48,000
A SVT $1,000 is a bargain

Groooaaannnnn.

Anyway, I'd say between $550 and $650 for an SVT-40 in run of the mill, refurb condition. With bore condition being the real kicker, personally.

I think I've said this before.... it's not surprising that SVT prices have climbed to where they are..... but it is amazing that they were available for so little initially. How the heck did we get so lucky to have one of the few full power, wide issue, self loading rifles of WWII available for $250?

Absolutely laughable. Was looking at a base level Silverado 4x4.....think it was 63K$. 80,000+ with the stuff I wanted. No thanks.

 

[PinkyPlinker]

Frontier just had a run of the mill SVT come in that didn’t last long at $1050 plus tax...

 

[Philthy1]

Probably should be around 4 or 5x what a 91/30 goes for. Whatever that is.

 

[AlbertaJohn]

Last week I advertised one (not here) for $650 and it sold the next day.

Maybe I should have asked for more.

The Prices of lots of the milsurps in the last 5-10 years have gone crazy!! Good thing I got most of my collection before this happened! The prices on Lee Enfield's including P14's and M17's, K31's, SVT40's, M1 Garands, Any of the original trench shotguns, Mosin 91/30's, Fin M39's, Inglis High Powers, German P38's/P1's, Radom vis 35's, VZ 52/57's, MAS 36, 36/51, 44,49,49/56's to name some that have really climbed up there.

I'm thinking if you like or have wanted to get your hands on some amazing Swedish Mauser's, you best do it soon! Still way undervalued for what they are and how they shoot! Glad I have my 4 already 2 M96's, M94/14, and 38/96.
