Any SVT-40 experts / knowledgable folks here? I have questions....

Don't lose that magazine, it is worth as much as the rifle.

Funny you say that - I almost walked out the door without it when I picked the rifle up

Cost a little more than I had hoped to spend but I found an original ammo pouch for the SVT.

Going to take awhile - it's coming from the Ukraine.

Still trying to wrap my head around the idea of spending $700 or better on an original bayonet in good condition.

1) Don’t buy one of the fake “parade” bayonets being peddled on ebay.
2) Put a WTB ad in the Want to Buy Forum on Gunboards.

It came with a reproduction bayonet - that’ll work as a place holder until I find the right one at the right price.

Good idea - May post a WTB on the Mosin Forum

Copy on repro. You need to post in correct WTB Forum or it will get squashed/deleted. Good luck!
I should’ve bought a hundred of the refurbed bayonets at $150 each, when I could.
