AVT-40 is a Soviet select-fire rifle derived from the SVT-40, chambered for the 7.62×54mmR cartridge. It uses a gas-operated action and is fed from a detachable 10-round box magazine. It is best known as a wartime attempt to give the SVT platform fully automatic capability, which proved difficult to control and hard on the rifle’s service life.

HISTORY

The AVT-40 (Avtomaticheskaya Vintovka Tokareva) was introduced by the Soviet Union during World War II as a modification of the SVT-40 to provide both semi-automatic and automatic fire. While the SVT family already offered higher practical rate of fire than bolt-action rifles, wartime pressure for increased close-range firepower led to authorization of a select-fire variant. In service, the AVT-40’s automatic mode was widely described as hard to control due to recoil in the full-power 7.62×54mmR cartridge, and sustained automatic fire accelerated wear and increased the risk of parts breakage; as a result, its use was limited and the concept was short-lived compared with other Soviet small arms.

After World War II, SVT-family rifles—including select-fire AVT examples in limited numbers—entered global surplus channels and appeared in later conflicts through capture and military aid. In the Vietnam War era, Soviet-bloc weapons were supplied to communist forces in Indochina through a mix of direct aid and redistribution, and Tokarev self-loading rifles are documented among the older-pattern arms that could turn up alongside newer assault rifles and machine guns. In Vietnamese hands, the AVT-40 would most commonly be used as a semi-automatic rifle due to recoil and durability concerns when fired on automatic.
