Yes...
Someone up here has one - cost him a small fortune!
The German firm also makes FG42's & other lovely shiney things that are not legal in the UK
Wonder if they'd do an FG42 straight pull? Group Buy anyone??

SSD makes full-bore SGT44 & FG42 Semi-Auto. They look fantastic but at € 7.5K be prepared to smash that little piggy bank ...

I'd have a straight pull SVT-40 if one ever came into existence (but NOT at German prices!)

One did, but Buckland was doing them wrong and got sent to jail.

...popular
"pick-up" by Finns - so quite often seen in use by them - hence the interest in one
Been advised that Oakrise Arms do them!

Add a Finnish sling, a couple of SA stamps, some pine tar oil on the woodwork & it'd be right nice!

The Cugir PSL might be an alternative for people who wanted but couldn't get a Dragunov. Cue people telling me its not a Dragunov now.
