SVT-40 Scope Mount

SVT-40 Scope Mount

The United Defense SVT40 Scope Mount puts an optic on the Soviet SVT-40 Tokarev, the semi-automatic rifle the Red Army fielded in World War II. It follows the layout of the original rifle mount: a forked base that slides onto the receiver and a raised pair of rings that hold the scope above the action. It suits collectors restoring a sniper-pattern rifle and shooters who want a period-correct optic setup on their SVT-40.

Features

• Built For The SVT-40 — The mount is made specifically for the Tokarev SVT-40 rifle rather than as a universal fit.
• Forked Slide-On Base — Two long rails with inward-facing lips form a fork that slides onto the rifle and grips it from both sides.
• Side Locking Lever — A lever on the side of the base locks the mount in position once it is seated.
• Rear Plunger — A round plunger at the back of the base works with the lever to hold the mount in place.
• Two Hinged Scope Rings — Each ring swings open on a pinned hinge, so the scope drops into the lower half before you close the cap over it.
• Slotted Clamp Screws — A slotted screw on each ring tightens the cap down onto the scope tube with a standard flat-blade screwdriver.
• Raised Ring Position — The rings sit on an arm well above the base, which lifts the optic clear of the action.
• Black Textured Finish — The whole mount carries a matte black finish with a light texture that reduces glare.

Fit And Setup

Installation follows the original pattern: slide the forked base onto the rifle, set the lever, then open the rings, lay the scope in and tighten the two clamp screws. Check your scope's tube diameter against the rings before ordering, and have a gunsmith look at the rifle if its mounting surfaces are worn or have been altered.
