Has anyone had any success trying to put a buttpad on an SVT 40?

I've tried searching, but haven't been able to find anything for an SVT-40 similar to what they sell for the SKS, Mosin, etc for a recoil pads or butt pad.

The recoil of the SVT isn't bad at all, but the length of pull is short like most russian milsurps, and i would like to find something to extend it a little. I have a slip on pad, but i don't really like it all that much.

If someone has tried successfully or even unsuccessfully i would like to hear what worked or what didn't work for you.
 
Forum member Mobular sells chinese sks butt pad/extenders that almost line up with the svt butt plate screw holes. It fits the shape exactly but the top screw of the pad is just off by a c hair, the bottom hole is dead on. I've been trying to figure out a way to mount one to the plate and once it's on the rifle, then I won't have to drill the stock. I'd love an 1" more lop on my svt, the recoil is not an issue.
 
i have one of the ebay rubber mosin recoil pads i was thinking of modifying to fit on my svt 40,, gotta line up the bottom hole, mark where the top hole would be, drill it and put a screw through it, should work, oh and shave the little overhangy part off the top because it fits the mosin. and they are easily available on ebay. I havent done it yet but have been thinking it through. one day i will get around to it
 
Just get a slip on recoil pad.

I bought one for all of $11 from Walmart. I think its Allen brand. Fits my SKS stock and Enfield stock and really helps with length of pull. Makes shooting both guns more enjoyable.

There are some good and bad sides to this though. Good sides are no screws into your stock to mount it and you can use just one pad on multiple guns. The downsides are it does have a bit of movement to it compared to something secured with screws (not enough for me to notice while shouldering it) and it is possible to forget it at home when you go to the range (Obviously can't forget something thats screwed to the gun..)

If you go the route of a slip-on remember to take it off when you are done. Otherwise it might glue itself to your finish and peel/fade the finish. A few days is no problem but I wouldn't leave it for a week or two or more.

I have a slip on now and don't like it, that is why i am asking about a non slip on pad.

Yeah I dont care how it looks. I can't see it when its in my shoulder and I am busy looking down the sights...
 
I put a shell caddy over my slip on recoil pads.
It covers the extra exposed rubber, feels soft on the jaw/cheek, and holds 9 x 54r rounds.
The excess overhanging rubber of the slip on pad also helps grip the caddy tight & firm so it doesn't slide around like they usually do when on a stock's bare wood.
