Privyet! Think the M1 Garand was the only military semi-auto rifle to see widespread service in WWII? Oh, Comrade, think again! The other was the Russian Tokarev SVT-40: "The very best there is when you absolutely, positively have to smoke-check every Nazi trying to invade Mother Russia. Accept no substitutes." That's what Brownells Gun Tech and collector Keith Ford tells us. Tokarev's SVT-40 is an innovative gas-operated, short-stroke pistoned, tilting bolt lockup, magazine-fed design. Keith pops the hood, shows us what makes the SVT-40 tick, and tells us a whole lot more about it, too. Do svidaniya!

Have to say, I really appreciate the From the Vault episodes with a little bit of historical background and the look at the internals, as done here.

@Mrgunsngear 5 лет назад

very cool!

@tacticplanner7188 5 лет назад

That's a beautiful peace of history thanks for sharing.

This is the most wholesome look at a mil-surp rifle I've ever seen...bravo! :-D

@dompin1747 4 года назад

Notice the flex of the entire rifle when being fired. This thing must have absolutely rattled itself apart on the full auto AVT.

Thank you! I needed this video

@kebman 4 года назад

It's not entirely dissimilar to the SKS. Beautiful weapon!

@kalskiratta8633 5 лет назад

Someone should start creating the files neccessary to machine these old guns so people can get their hands on them forever.

@reallyhappenings5597 4 года назад

I bought an SKS collector's guide book on Amazon. Encompassing extremely comprehensive info on every variant and production detail, it contained blueprints for every part and assembly of the gun. You could make a precise replica from that data, it was that thorough. I mention it in one of my videos. Wouldn't be surprised if a similar book exists for the SVT, as tgey are nearly identical guns.

I landed a Mosin Nagant by a accident and fell in love with 7.62x54R cartridge. Currently saving to see if I can one of these soon!!!

Correction to the info he has on the gas piston and gas adjustment: Adjustment is done with the issued wrench that fits over the front end of the gas regulator and does not require removing parts. Only time you'll need to remove those parts is for cleaning. Rotating the gas piston like he does is a way to remove it from the rifle. I'm late to the video, but I hope this helps people who may be new to the rifle.

@ShaneT.0331 2 года назад

You are correct

If the wrench didn’t come with my rifle, where can I get one? 🤔

@theopot5798 4 года назад

Well techically, it has more or less the same firing cycle with the SKS later in mid 1940's and later with the legendary AK47 , the similarities of the barrel with the gas operated piston are striking

@dorianwinchester4789 5 лет назад

@@big_nasty533 That's about how much they tend to run in the US. In Canada, they're only about $400. It depends on how much you want it. You could be patient and hope to find one cheaper some day.

This was supposed to be the standard red army rifle . but the germans invaded in 1941 so they went back to the mosin nagant because its a easier rifle to make and maintain and shoot.

The "Russian" Military ceased to exist with the dissolution of Russia in 1918 The SVD 40 is a Soviet Army rifle. Many of the SVD40 Rifles exported to North America were Finnish captured trophy's which Finland sold off.

@sqike001ton 5 лет назад

Couple things with this weapon 1 it was only issed to experanced troops usually elite assault troops and 2 they would set the gas port to high or 1 notch from it and run it there that would over gas it and it would run "better" that way at the expensive of parts durabality but the soldiers life span was shorter than the guns life so

@PugilistCactus 4 года назад

Main reason it was given to specific troops is because of training requirements. The average grunt would not have been able to maintain this.

@JC-11111 5 лет назад

The one thing I took away from this video was an overuse of the word "but". Try not to use it as a placeholder when speaking. It makes it seem as if you're negating everything said directly before the word "but". Combined with how much it was used, it doesn't help your presentation of facts at all.

@georgej2058 Год назад

Referring to the actions of the state from the 1917 Jewish Bolshevik takeover until ~2014, it is objectively incorrect and inappropriate to use the word "Russian", as the state, military, etc were not run by Russians. The Soviet Union ruled over Russia (as well as many other republics and peoples) but the rulers were not Russians, nor did they rule in the interests of Russians.

@leoncolwin8645 Год назад

Worst rifle ever. Flimsy, poorly made and extremely difficult to field strip. I got rid of mine quickly. It was the worst surplus rifle that I ever bought.
