I am looking for a special repro scope mount for the SVT-40 Tokarev, but from the beginning:
I am owning a Tokarev SVT-40 with two rails for the scope mount (see picture below). But it is not a original sniper rifle, so the notch to lock the original scope mount is missing. The only way to use it as sniper and to fix the mount would be to drill that notch irreversible in the weapons housing. But I am not willing to do that.
According to rumours, there exists a US-made SVT40 scope mount, that looks exactly like a WW2 SVT40 mount, with one difference: It can be locked on another part than the housing (as far as I know on the dust cover). A dust cover is a common spare part, so making a notch won't be a tragedy.
My question to you is now: Has anyone heard of these "special SVT40 scope mount"? Who makes them and where CAN I GET ONE OF THESE?
I hope someone can help here. Thank you in advance.
