Tokarev 7.62 x 54R SVT40
I have seen listings for the Soviet SVT40 for years....
Does anyone have one?
How do they run?

Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED
Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)
Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET
Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

Great shooter, can be picky about ammo and you need gas valve adjuster wrench. Also, complete teardown of bolt/gas system will reveal a multitude of small PITA parts.Comment

A blast to shoot but not so fun to clean with surplus ammo. Bout sums it up. Mine runs great whenever I bring it out.Comment

It's not that hard to clean... jeeez
They're at the top of the "fun to shoot" list, at least for me. If I am going to the range with some n00bs, I always bring the SVT!! I usually shoot a few 22s and maybe my 357 Marlin to get them calmed down... then I blast off 10 rounds with the Tokarev and they usually jump up from the bench and say "wow that thing is loud, what the hell is it?" LOL
To me, it's worth the tiny bit of extra work to clean it. After you do it enough times, it is actually kind of fun.NRA Life Member - CRPA Life Member - NRA Certified RSO - USN Veteran
I collect Military Arms and enjoy shooting in local matches. I also collect older Lever Actions, especially those chambered in odd/old cartridges. If you have a nice old Winchester or Marlin in 25-20, 32-40, 38-55, 40-60, 45-70, etc etc, please PM me and we can work out a deal.

Lots of fun to shoot, one of my favorites...get Bill Berg's stainless piston set and corrosive ammo won't be a problem anymore: http://www.ppsh41.com/SVTitems.html
ETA: Looks like his current batch might be the last...get a set while you can.Last edited by joefrank64k; 06-26-2014, 7:03 PM.You will never, in your life, have a chance like this again.
If I were you, I would not pass this up. I would not let this go by...this is rare.
Come on...what harm??

I just emailed Bill; is there anything else to place my order? Sorry to thread Jack.When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say,

Neat gun...nice and loud!! Cheap to shoot still also!Comment

I've posted before, that I got two sets of the first ones Bill had made. One set for a torture test, and a backup set. The torture test set is still in it, and never been cleaned! It's been wiped off with a dry rag maybe three times for an inspection, and that's it. Other than a little black soot, it's in the same condition as the day I installed them. Your factory set would never survive that. Best money you can spend on a SVT!Comment

I had the pleasure of sitting down to dinner with Bill and having a few beers and a long conversation afterwards. Not only a nice guy, well traveled and very intelligent, but one of the the most interesting people I've ever met.I sent him an email, he got back to me within a day. Nice guy.
I haven't had a chance yet, to take him up on his offer to come and shoot his F/A PPsh-41's, but it is on my bucket list!
