Description:
SVT-40-P: Russian Semi-Auto SVT-40 Rifle 7.62x54R 1941 Podolsk. This gun is an uncommon manufactured rifle with the most uncommon property marking of the rare Podolsk produced SVT-40 with the arrow within an oval. Numbers are matching except for the magazine, as some are the typical scribed numbers used during the refurbishment process. Rifle is totally intact with the correct cleaning rod and other parts. Bore is fair to good with some darkness and gray looking matter in the barrel, may clean up better. Rifling is visible throughout the bore but worn. Small CDI import marking! Unfired since imported into the U.S.!! Look at the pictures. This gun comes out of the personal collection of YooperJ. YooperJ has been an active collector of military guns for over 35 years. I have had this gun over 25 years and stored in a climate controlled environment. Most of these are one of a kind or a slight variation within a model. When they are gone, they’re GONE! A very uncommon variant!!!!

Information from WeaponSystems
The SVT-40 is a World War 2 era self-loading rifle of Soviet origin. Fedor Tokarev developed this rifle with the intention of it becoming the new standard issue rifle of the Soviet Union. It was used in large quantities during World War 2, but was never as ubiquitous as the Mosin-Nagant bolt-action rifle in Soviet service.
Design
The SVT-40 is a gas operated rifle with a short stroke-piston and a tilting bolt. The gas system is adjustable. The wooden stock features a traditional rifle grip.
Firepower
The SVT-40 uses the 7.62x54mm Russian cartridge from a 10 round magazine. The magazine is detachable, but the rifle can also be reloaded using 5 round stripper clips. The main feature of the SVT-40 is that it is a semi-automatic rifle. Despite the various minor issues this made the SVT-40 more combat effective than the bolt-action Mosin-Nagant.
Users
The main user of the SVT-40 was the USSR. Although intended to become the primary service rifle, it wasn't nearly as common as the Mosin-Nagant. The SVT-40 was often issued to specialist units, such as naval infantry and shock troops. Captured weapons were used by Finland and Nazi Germany. After World War 2 the SVT-40 was put in storage and replaced with the SKS. During the early stages of the Cold War various Soviet allies also received SVT-40 rifles.
