Its bass wood.. It was pretty inexpensive, I wasn't sure if this was something i could pull off, so i didn't wanna use a 300$ piece of wood

Basswood seems like a bit of underkill. It is soft and easy to carve, but will it hold up to recoil? The originals are laminated birch.
How did you close off the sides of the receiver? Sheet metal? And, how is the butt attached? The SVT40 has a recoil lug under the receiver ring to take most of the force. The latch on the back end is really just to hold things together.

Yes the center piece is mostly sheet metal, with some re enforcements inside it. I shot it today for the first time, and everything held up fine, as for the recoil spring on the trigger pad, It doesn't have one, the fit is accurate enough that there is no slack. I bought a posp 3x9 scope for it, so mounting that will be the next project

Very well done sir! Are the dimensions of the stock close to the original of is it an eyeball job?
