• Wooden bed, solid hardwood (birch, beech, ash), it can be attributed to polupustyne, but the handle is so gentle that there will not be a big mistake to call it direct English.
• The trigger mechanism is unregulated, the fuse box is under the trigger guard, behind the trigger.
• External sights – classic pillar in the slider with a line and closed the fly on a high bracket.

Advantages and disadvantages

Authentic rifle SVT-40, the legendary weapons grade, participated in the Second world war. Opinions about its unreliability as extremely exaggerated. If a fighter was technically competent, kept the weapons clean, particular problems had not occurred. Infantry of the German Wehrmacht believed lucky to obtain such a trophy.

At the same time, it is worth noting that the rifle is really technically complicated, its mechanism is made up of many small parts, it requires attention and careful maintenance. Complicating matters is the open receiver and the gas chamber with vents.

• The gas piston has three adjustment holes, this allows you to tune the weapons to use cartridges with bullets of different weights.
• Effective range of 1.5 kilometers, the stopping power of the bullet is very large, is a great weapon for hunting large ungulates.
• There are difficulties with the installation of optical sights. Authentic “tokarevskaya” bracket has a ring, not suitable to modern optics. For installation laths weaver or Picatinny will need the services of a qualified Miller.
• To comply with the requirements of the law on civil weapons, at the beginning of the barrel and in the receiver establishes the so-called ballistic labels, leaving individual marks on the bullet and the sleeve, which facilitates the identification of weapons. They degrade ballistic performance. So a sniper rifle from SVT-On just will not work.
• Length rifles of 1230 mm, which is too much for a hunting weapon. While in running order it weighs 3.9 kg, which is a pound less than the carbine “boar VPO-124”, a length of 1090 mm., a ratio of size and weight suggests that the margin of safety from SVT-On a lesser.

Fatal flaw – obsolescence design.
