Where to buy SVT-40

[Finnished]

Howdy y'all, as much as I love gunbroker that seems to be the only place to get ahold of the seemingly elusive SVT. Anyone know anywhere else that sells them? Seems that Armslist and Guns America both are devoid of listings.

I guess if GB is the only option I'll pay the premium but I find it hard to believe. Thanks,

Logan

Keep an eye on gunboards.com. Sign up to be a member there and the surplusrifleforum. Go to gunshows and keep an eye out. Several years ago I saw a guy get a finn capture SVT-40 for $300. He was running out like he stole it, and he almost did!

I appreciate the recommendations, two options I hadn't considered. I don't have my C&R since I tend to buy these things once a year when I have the right amount saved up. Definitely something to consider for the future, however.

That's quite a steal on an SVT. Admittedly I'm not even looking to steal it, just a reasonable price would be fine. But right now on GB they're trending 2.5K+ for a good example and what looks like will be 2K for one with rust and a pitted barrel

Maybe I'm weird, but I like to have my C&R in workable order and know I did my part to keep it that way

It wasn't too long ago they were $750.
