The SVT-40 is a Soviet semi-automatic battle rifle introduced in 1940, replacing its predecessor, the SVT-38. It was intended as a replacement for the Mosin-Nagant M91/30 as the Soviet Union's service rifle, but production numbers fell sharply in 1941 and 1942, and only small quantities were produced in 1943 - 1945, with later releases immediately going to the reserve. Production of the SVT-40 ceased in 1945, and it was withdrawn from service shortly after the end of the war.
From 1942 - 1943, the select-fire AVT-40 variant was also produced. The AKT and SKT carbine versions were also produced in small quantities from 1940 - 1943. The former was select-fire, and interestingly preceded the full-size AVT.
The SVT/AVT was also the only Soviet rifle with a detachable magazine to be issued with a single magazine in the field (a trait ubiquitously and falsely attributed to the Fedorov Avtomat). Originally, the rifles were issued with three magazines, but by 1943, they were only issued with one. This is for several reasons: in addition to costs, magazines from various rifles suffered from a lack of interchangeability, and could be easily lost in battle, and the SVT was on its way to being phased out by the PPSh-41 and the Mosin, so it was easier to equip each rifle with one well-fitted magazine, and reload them with stripper clips (the Gewehr 43 also suffered from such issues, despite attempts to issue more magazines).
There were also 15-round magazines for SVT; they are very rare today, as their production was discontinued in 1942 due to their complexity (since wartime production couldn't maintain the level of quality required for their production), and and are most likely to be found at the sites of former battles. A 20-round drum was also tested, but it was considered unreliable and quickly discontinued.
