Re: Another peek inside the Russian toybox
If it's the Dauntsey Guns one you're referring to, it's a Tigr, so essentially a Dragunov SVD with a 21 inch rather than 24 inch barrel and a shorter flash hider on the end. There are pictures of it on their site now if you search for Dragunov. I have put a deposit down on it though :-p I went to look at it yesterday and it is mint, looks like it has hardly been shot. Scope has the AK rather than SVD mount but it should work and given the price of the package it's a nice bonus. Mags are 5 round so I'll need a ten rounder.
Just got to wait for the variation now...

Re: Another peek inside the Russian toybox
Thats a good price to be fair, barrel length is the same as the SVDS version. One thing you'll find is you'll have more of a chin weld than a cheek weld with that scope as the AK mount is quite a bit higher than a SVD mount.If you search the net you can find POSP SVD type mounts available seperately.The 10 round mags are around the £50 mark and can be found on ebay now and again and if it hasn't got one it's worth getting a rubber eyepiece for the scope, you can pick them up on ebay if you search worldwide.Swifty Boy wrote:If it's the Dauntsey Guns one you're referring to, it's a Tigr, so essentially a Dragunov SVD with a 21 inch rather than 24 inch barrel and a shorter flash hider on the end.

Thank you Tovarisch Froggy, glad I could be of assistance and congratulations on the 1pn21 purchase
. It would appear you also got the scope cover which is a bonus.With the Dragunovs and AKs' we could form our own Motor Rifles platoon.......we just need a BMP-1!!!!!!
