SVT40 buttplate

**bob4wd** · 07-11-2011 01:23 PM

I've an SVT40 minus a buttplate and I have an SVT 40 buttplate (supposedly), but they're not compatible-the buttplate is about an eighth of an inch biggerin all dimensions than the stock is. It doesn't fit my other rifle either, btw. So- any ideas? Could it be for an SVT 38 or some other similar gun? I bought the buttplate many, many years ago from a well known dealer and was just too lazy to do anything about then, but now I'm in the mood to restore this old warhorse so it's time, I guess.

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.

The bigger buttplate could be for an AVT 40 stock - these were commonly used on SVTs when they got refurbed. The AVT stock is a little beefier to handle full auto fire.

That sounds reasonable, I'll just get a flat buttplate at a gunshow and make it fit, the stock has been badly broken and bubba repaired, so no loss. Thanks.

More likely what you have is a PPSh 41 butt plate.
