i have a 1941 tula svt-40 , great shooter as well , just hate shooting it with spam can ammo but thats what she prefers,set my gas @ 1.3 shoot all day , but cleaning it after spam can ammo is a real pain, it does not get that much range time anymore unless i load up some ammo for it myself , looking to get a case of steel cased factory maybe herters that is non -corrosive so i can shoot her more cleaning after cor ammo is a real pain due to the gas system. But mine loves the spam can ammo best so far.will shoot 3 inch &under groups at 200 as well with the occasional flyer very accurate with the spam can ammo.,very nice piece. If it has the rails grooves you may be able to locate a reciever cover with the indent for it , i found a mount fits the svt's with no grooves or indent in cover on ebay , sets on with locking screws , my eyes are getting bad so i may get 1 to scope my svt as well.
looks to be a very solid mount for the svts that do not have the grooves.
