Recently, I decided that I would obtain a bayonet to go with my SVT-40 rifle. After pricing a few blades, I just cannot believe how much an SVT blade is selling for, in some cases, the darn blade costs more than what I had paid for my rifle. Why are these bayonets so expensive?

SVT-40 Bayonets--Why So Costly?

Roy,
The rifle itself can be had with relative ease, keep in mind that most of these were Finnish captures and the prices will reflect a captured piece as opposed to an untouched russian and the same applies to the bayonet. You can tell easily but the bayos are more rare, and will command a premium price but unless you want one that is not a capture, you should be able to find one for about 250.00.

By far the easiest svt 40 rifle to find is the russian ones that were imported a few years back, these are not finnish marked capture guns. Those SA marked rifles are not nearly as easy to find.

I apologize, I meant to say non import as well. They are rare.
Thank you,

Svt 38
Originally posted by Adrian StevensonHi Roy, here is mine which is a arsenal refinished example. If you want one like this, either the early pattern scabbard as shown here, or the later pattern, drop me a line as I might be able to help?
Cheers, Ade.
Adrian,
I have a non- import, non- arsenal refinished Vet. bringback SVT38 do you ever run into the proper bayonet for this rifle?
Thanks,
Robert

receiver

Take a peek at the receiver scope rail on the right side of the rifle, it should have a VERY small stamped importer marking there, its the only way I have seen them to date being marked.

The nicest one I had was a 41 svt-40 matching stock, bolt, clip and all asnd no import marks with standard serial #s. Hard to find them like that. you can buy original scopes and mounts as well, they say only 50k had the rail for the scope but appears to be more, you can see these as snipers at shows for crazy #s like 2900.00 or better, nice thing about them is thier easier to eyeball as opposed to some other firearms.
Good Luck,
Jarrid
