I have this SVT 40 I was trying to find some background on it. From what I read online am I right to assume it was a 1942 AVT 40 stock and receiver then in the 80s it was refurbished with the SVT Bolt and trigger assembly? The s/n match on the stock and the receiver but the bolt and trigger group are penciled on. The stock has the big A on it so I think that means it was a AVT. I don't know much about these guns so any info would be appreciated thanks!!

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Your rifle is typical Soviet icon

refurb (1960x, not 80x). All parts are mixed and force-matched. In most cases from original rifle only receiver and barrel were not separated during refurbishing.

Thanks for the info. Does the "A" on the stock mean it was a AVT at one time?
