    Finn SVT-40 with modified gas regulator question

    Good day,
    I just got a nice finn captured SVT-40 with the gas regulator modified from 1.7 to 2.0. I read this was because of the load D166 but if I just want to shoot surplus, guess I just have to select the port at 1.3 and its good to go or I have to buy a new unmodified gas regulator ?

    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.

    You need to get out and try it first. Use the ammo you intend to shoot...I'll bet it works.

    I just don't want to crack the stock as I assume, 2.0 will deliver a good recoil ?

    I doubt it'll break anything. If you're in doubt then wait and someone else will be along. I bet it's had it's share of current available ammo since it's import into Canadaicon though. Start with the smaller one and see when you go shooting...
    Regards, Jim
