The automatic SVT the AVT 40

[shortandlong]

Far as I understand, it wasn't the fact that the safety would flip both ways that really mattered. But if the safety were able to flip both ways AND was cut out at the correct point, it would allow the trigger to be brought backwards far enough for the full-auto function to work. Just a two-way flip on the safety is not enough to send you to jail

that is what i was curious about ....I new there had to be more to the mechanics than just the safety........I am positive mine will not and have no interest doing so.

I don't recall any dedicated AVS rifles being brought into the country but, with our Government, you never know. They let in a whole RAFT of M-2 Carbines back in the 1960s, and now you get free board and room (at Her Majesty's expense) for possessing one of these rifles which were brought in, and sold, quite legally.

actually i know of someone who had one that was converted and said to hell with it and ran the reciver through a bandsaw. back in the day.
