A friend at work was telling me about his SVT 40 and told how much they were going for. I joked and said I would give him $500 for it and next I know I'm buying it. It's a '42 Tula still in cosmo.

Ees good price for Union of Socialist American republics. But over here Tokarev SVT is 389 roubles. Good honest rifle triumph of workers and pride of mighty Red Army. Good work, comrade Thank you and thank everyone else although the may not be as good as I thought with the stock mods but oh well she's a shooter. |

From what I can tell from the pictures you have what appears to be a converted AVT-40. The AVT was a fully automatic version of the SVT primarily intented to be used for anti- aircraft use ( optimistic for sure) and as a squad automatic weapon . The tell tale signs of an AVT are the stock and muzzle break. The stocks on the AVT-40's were much thicker to stand up to the automatic fire as well as to give the shooter a thicker stock to hang on to this is also why it has the enlarged cross bolt behind the reciever. Your stock also appears to have a large cerrilic A on it, im not 100% but I think that was to designate the difference, every AVT I have seen pics of had that marking. There is also two cut outs on your stock for the safty, push the safty to the left is semi-auto and to the right is full auto. Regular svt's only have one cut out on the left side of the gun. Overall what you have there is alot more uncommon that what you may think. Some more info http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/13483-the-automatic-tokarev-rifle-avt-40/ |

They said the crossbolt wasn't right and the side sling swivel was Chinese. Regardless, for 500 I still like it. Thinking of replacing the bolt with a Mosin as they are exactly the same size.
What did the guys at gunboards have to say on that cross bolt? |
| Awesome find for a great price but I'm curious, I could be wrong but its my understanding that any firearm that was once full auto is considered by the ATF to forever be full auto and requires NFA paperwork to own legally. If it is a converted AVT than doesn't this rifle fall into the category as all those semi auto converted M-14's that the CMP could never sell because they were once full auto? |

sorry for how long it took to post this, it looks like it was ready rod type thing, maybe 1/8' diameter, with large slotted threaded washers on either side
After days of not checking in I just seen your pics. Thank you so much. Doubtful I will find a bolt like that but I'm still considering a Mosin bolt. Anything will look better than what's in it now. Matter of fact yours is the first I've seen with a wrist bolt other than mine. |
