dubya 198 Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I like that! I wouldn't mind owning one myself so I could hunt with it. X54 ammo isn't exactly rare around here and its fairly cheap. What does something like that run? ETA - oops just remembered you were overseas Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ETA - oops just remembered you were overseas IF you can get the SVDS parts and a donor rifle, say maybe a Tigr, plus the cost of of the build will put you around $8,000.

What does something like that run? ETA - oops just remembered you were overseas Thank you .....it was very nearly 2000GBP all in. 54r is quite easy to get here (Mosin Nagants have apretty big following) and i wanted the 'proper' calibre.It was one of two i could find for sale in here in the UK, the other one was a .308 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

richUK 90 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I think its $8000 , I looked on the US Gunbroker site and there were a couple of Dragunovs on there that were 10k plus!. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arik 565 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 UKAK is right. A real SVD/Tiger?Dragunov usually run $3000-5000K. Add to that the panic buying and you have your $10K+ rifle, Mags run close to $100ea as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Why? Its basically a 30-06 AK isn't it? I mean its a sweet rifle but its still just a stamped receiver right? Import laws? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socom688 217 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) It has something to do with trade laws? We can't get them here, for some bullshit reasons.BTW dubya, your avatar gives me nightmares! So disturbing lmao Edited April 7, 2013 by socom688 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How rude!!! .A Dragunov/SVD is not based on an AK, unlike the Romanian PSL (nothing worse than seeing a PSL called a Dragunov!).The Dragunov was designed seperately from the AK family and has a milled receiver and uses a short stroke gas system where the gas piston is not attached to the bolt carrier and shares no parts with an AK.The trigger group is completely different and by removing the safety lever from the receiver the trigger group can be removed as a complete assembly.The recoil spring is mounted in the dust cover not on the rear trunnion like an AK. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sdustin 578 Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 All I need is a flat head and an ak74 brake in 5/8x24 Oh here's a better pic. I just brought it home from my uncles machine shop. He threaded the barrel. I'm waiting on an Texas ak designs internal ace style block. I've got an ace stock and folder but I'm not sure I'll be doing the cut tang just yet. I'll order a brake next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 What is that? Looks like a 545 or 762 but that mag looks 410 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sccritterkiller 473 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 These are two of my favorites. top one is 6.8 for deer and hogs. bottom 556 for yotes and varmits. Both have Vltor uppers on PSA lowers...running BCM bcgs, with YH barrels, troy bravo rails, CRT stocks, Maid grips, and Geissele SSA triggers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sdustin 578 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 It is a .308. Cut the tang and added an ace stock. Oh the mag is a CSSpec 15 round. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What the other guy said. Completely different rifle. Functionally closer to a VZ58, SKS or a FAL. Milled receiver, light weight (about 10lbs with a scope). The only thing it has in common with the AK is the country of origin. It does have AK borrowed designs like the dust cover, safety latch, iron sights.....thats about it. Only thing it has in common with a PSL is the caliber it shoots. Not even the mags are interchangeable. There even is a SVD chambered in 9.3x64 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kresk 10,063 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 This is a supposed Viet Nam bring back--M53 Chicom carbine, 1961 manufacture. The unusual part is the grenade launcher and odd looking elevation device on the side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THX1138 7 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Here is my 1943 Sauer and Sons, with a 1942/43 style scope mount and a Leupold 3 x 9 scope (sorry, couldn't afford a real German scope for it). It shots great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dubya 198 Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Here are my two newest toys. A home built 6.8 SPC II with Aero lower & BCM upper and Magpul UBR stock, a DPMS lower with Magpul ACS-L stock and a Huldra 556 piston upper when it arrives. I also ordered a Boberg billet lower that was spendy but is about the coolest/nicest lower I've seen, I think I'll make that a 7.62x39 or just another 556. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
