Well i finally got one, after years of imagining one in my hands...
Seems to be an arsenal refurb.

Very nice looking rifle, Vlad!!! Congrats! Now get her cleaned up and let us know how she shoots!

Vlad92 · 11-02-2009, 06:33 PM

date says 1941r... what does the "r" stand for? My only guess would be refurb?

r = ruskie designation for year.
It is however a refurb. Blued bolt carrier & pencil etched ser nr say so. Most likely one of the many brought in 15+ yrs ago.

The standard is set your gas adjustment to 1.5 and go up or down from there.

Vlad92 · 11-03-2009, 05:20 PM

1.5, got it. thanks!

Well congrats on that SVT40! Looks like a good one. The "r" is the Russian "г" (g in English) for the word "год" pronounced like god, with kind of a long O sound. What arsenal produced it? I guess I'd settle for an arsenal refurb too! I better start saving!

1941 Izzy, i wanted a Kovrov but the condition on this one was just too good. and kovrov is a little hard to find. And as far as an arsenal refurb goes, thats what i wanted too. The finn capture ones usually seem to be in poor condition.

How much did it set you back, Vlad?

Vlad92 · 11-04-2009, 07:10 PM

around $800. couldnt pass the deal up.

Vlad92 · 11-06-2009, 08:37 PM

Im looking for a sling for the SVT, an original one. Anyone know what type of sling these used? Ive heard PPSH-41

Yeah, I remember when they started to appear. Really nice SVT-40s were going for $125 then, but I was saving my pennies for my “third” M1 Garand instead. Garands were a then whopping $325 and I had a bad case of "Garand-mania" which knocked out my chance at getting a lot of "better" deals cropping up then.
