Tokarev SVT-40

=Tokarev SVT-40=
The SVT-40 (Russian: Самозарядная винтовка Токарева, образец 1940 года, lit. "Tokarev self-loading rifle, model of 1940") 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 Production of the SVT-40 ceased in 1945, and it was withdrawn from service shortly after the end of the war.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 - 1944, 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 that was typically used 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 magazines could be easily lost in battle, and suffered from a some lack of interchangeability from various rifles, so it was easier to equip each rifle with one well-fitted magazine, and reload them with stripper clips, despite attempts to issue more magazines (the Gewehr 43 also suffered from such issues).
Starting in 1942, magazines for 15, 20, and 25 rounds were produced for the SVT-40/AVT-40. The 15-round magazine was produced in small batches and soon replaced with the 20-round version.

=Tokarev AKT-40=
The AKT-40 is a fully-automatic carbine version of the SVT-40. In early 1941, several hundred AKT-40s were produced. An agreement was signed on the production of 5,000 carbines for the third quarter of 1941. During 1941-1942, the main users were the 201 and 214 Airborne Brigades. Production in small batches continued until 1944. There was also a sniper version, typically made as a presentation rifle, one of which was awarded to Marshal Voroshilov.

=Tokarev AVT-40=
The AVT-40 is a Soviet automatic rifle developed from the SVT-40, identifiable by the slightly shorter, stouter stock marked with an "A", along with a modified safety lever that acts as a fire selector. It was developed due to a shortage of machine guns and was first issued to troops in July 1942. While effective when fired in short bursts, the AVT-40 proved to be nearly uncontrollable in fully-automatic fire (with a rate of fire of approximately 750 RPM in full-automatic, the AVT-40 has a higher rate of fire than the significantly heavier DP-27 machine gun). The SVT-40 design proved to be ill-suited to conversion to an automatic rifle, and the AVT-40 suffered frequent malfunctions when used in full-auto. Testing indicated that constant automatic fire would completely wear out the rifling of the barrel in as little as 200 rounds. Many troops issued one in combat would use it in semi-automatic only, thus negating the purpose of the design in the first place. 
Production stopped at the end of 1943. Despite its short production lifespan, approximately 500,000 were made, making it the most widely produced automatic rifle during the Second World War.

The SKT-40 is an SVT-40 variant with a shortened barrel and forearm. Sometimes mistakenly called the SVT-40 carbine. Like the AKT-40, it was produced in small batches until 1944 for use in the Airborne Forces.
