Quick Overview
Overview
The SVT-40 (Samozaryadnaya Vintovka Tokareva, 40) is a Soviet semi-automatic battle rifle designed by Fedor Tokarev. It entered production in 1940 as an improvement over the earlier SVT-38, intended to replace the Mosin-Nagant bolt-action rifle as the standard-issue infantry weapon of the Red Army. Approximately 1.6 million SVT-40s were produced during World War II, making it one of the most widely issued semi-automatic rifles of the conflict. It was chambered in 7.62×54mmR and featured a gas-operated action with a short-stroke piston and a detachable 10-round magazine.
