I actually hadn't tried it yet, but since you asked, I did.
And not only does it work fine, it looks great!!
That's a polished Russian 91%, but I think any Russian or Kayfun would be cool - I WOULD recommend one that's got an adjustable 510 pin, so you can be sure you'll "reach" the pin on the SVD.
I'm actually BAD at building coils - I just suck at it, and don't enjoy it - but I still managed to get this thing vaping nicely.
