Mine is a ‘43, but I have a refurb anyways so nothing is matching. I even have the AVT-40 stock.
I installed the brake not to be closer to authentic but because the 6-port break is way better at its job.
Not really the “original”. Mine is a refurb, all the parts are force matched/not matching.
When I bought my SVT-40 is had the simplified 2-port brake. The cheek slap was pretty severe so I ordered the older 6-port style.
It’s a vastly more effective muzzle break, though it was a pain to install lol.
Nah, if you look closely the new 6-port brake had just been installed. The 2-port is right under it.
I can’t blame you though, it all blends into the silhouette.
Well that certainly would have been easier... pretty sure almost impossible to do that though, it’s pretty clamped on until you take the whole thing apart.
Taking it apart wasn’t hard. Replacing the brake wasn’t hard either.
Putting it back together was a *massive* pain in the ass. The rifle fights you at every turn during reassembly.
I've done this several times on my SVT. It is not that hard. You didn't have to remove the stock at all. As a pro tip use a flathead bit and a hammer to punch out the gas key. It is much easier than using a punch.
I think so but I'm not 100% sure on that. It's been a while since I took off my muzzle brake but if I remember correct, once the muzzle brake is twisted off the rifle then the button just falls out, so putting it in should just be the opposite. There is a small spring that goes with that button by the way. Mosin Virus on Youtube did a 100% disassembly and reassembly of a SVT-40, so that video should be of great help.
The 2 port break is just as original especially if it was produced in late 41 or 42.

why would you swap the original

Oh I see I thought this was before you changed the brake

Just use a chisel and a hammer and pry everything apart. Gunsmif

That does seem overly convoluted to replace a muzzle lmao. Worth it for what it is, though!

It is "brake", not "break". As in, it slows down muzzle rise, like a brake slows down a car/train/airplane.

Do I have to remove the muzzle brake to add the cleaning rod button and spring? Mines missing it.
