Soldier, be very careful with those side rails. Don't put too much pressure on them, as I could see part of it snapping off with the forces you are putting on it.

I wouldn't blame the mount in this case, given the build quality on the A&K SVD. Personally, I ended up filing the inside of the scope mount. The super tight fit is actually due to the ridge that protrudes along the top cover of the SVD. This is where you must file the mount. To prove it, take your top cover off entirely and mount again, you will see how easily it goes on. Without filing, if you look at how the Kalinka mount is sitting on the rail (looking along the receiver from front), you can just tell it isn't sitting right.

Once filed, I corrected the slight off-center by zeroing my Leapers. All good now, and I love the look. Maybe I'll post a picture or two of where I filed, if needed?
