SVT-40 what’s it worth?

[juelssantana]

I was given this gun a few years ago from my grandad.
I don’t much about it. My Russian neighbors said it’s worth some money? Offered me 2500 for it

I’d like to get more info on it though

Has a safety notch on one side

If they offered you 2500 for it, go immediately back to them and sell it to them. That's the going rate. Finding someone to pay it, however, can be challenging. If it's not sentimental to you, of course.

It's a Russian WWII rifle, chambered in 7.62x54R. Kind of like a Russian Garand...kind of. Minus the bloc clip.

2200 on up. Take the 2500 if you’re looking to sell it. What factory was it made at?

Is that milled for a scope?

Can’t tell a lot from the pics other than she’s a refurb and pretty crusty. I agree about the 1900-2500 if you clean her up, the numbers match and everything works. Parts are a little scarce. They are fun to shoot

Might want to go ahead and rub it down with some gun lube to slow down the rust and freckling going on.

Makes me ill to see an old warhorse left to rust to death through neglect.

I think we need better pictures to tell. Some SVTs are more valuable than others.
