I've been approached to rebarrel an SVT-40.
Looking at the schematic the barrel machining itself looks "reasonably" straightforward. As far as disassembly of the pinned parts, maybe not so much but I've found front-end gas housing, rear sight NOS parts if needed.
Does a print exist for these barrels (usual stuff, barrel tenon, extractor cut, gas port, threading for the gas housing at the muzzle end)?
If anyone's ever been down this road, appreciate any input- is this a "run, don't walk away" job?
