It does have a 2-piece sling. There aren't any "star" marks anywhere, so I think all the parts are original to this gun. The only thing that doesn't match is the magazine; the serial numbers don't match and it's been modified to make it a 5-round capacity (the legal limit for all semi-auto...

Since your bolt appears to be the usual plum color - that story is most likely false. SVT-40's left the arsenals with bolt carriers in the white, they were reblued in European armories during the refurbishing process. ===I am always suspicious of what people who want to sell me something tell me. Th...

There's a button on the bayonet lug which locks the cleaning rod in place. You can use any .30 caliber bronze bore brush for it. Mosin Nagant cleaning jags will fit the included cleaning rod, if you're so inclined. I typically use a bronze brush, a brass jag and a .30 caliber bore mop. Remember to ...

Oh wow... Ok, first I'm not sure I want to try this without that little tool. So: 1) Where do I get the little tool? I'm worried about cleaning it, since I already fired it...(I'm a fanatic about cleaning...I spend 3x more effort cleaning my guns than shooting them--my wife said if the toilet was sh...

Wow, thanks Joe. I wish there were a way to get in contact with this fellow, Drake.

Welcome to MAH. I don't have an SVT-40....although I sure wish I did. I did get my hands on one at a range in Mississippi once, thanks to one of our moderators. I'm sure someone with some experience will notice your post before long. And you are right, the lighter recoil is a surprise after shootin...

Hi, I'm the proud new owner of a SVT-40 rifle that I bought from an enormous WWII collection whose owner passed away. It got it at a very good price (400 dollars Canadian). The rifle is in wonderful condition and appears to have simply been heavily greased and put on display for the last 60 years. I...
