SVDs questions?
Re: SVDs questions? I just put a POSP 8X42 scope on my .308 NDM-86 along with the Russian black polymer stock set to give it a little length. The scope is the week link on this rifle, so why not upgrade to a more powerful scope. I dug up a copy of SWAT magazine from Feb 2009 that did a...- azakms

SVDs questions?
Re: SVDs questions? I took apart an AK and my NDM, the NDM has 3 lugs and is identical to the Russian 7.62X54r bolt with the exception of the machined area of the bolt head is slightly smaller to accommodate the smaller .308 rimmed base and it's made of stainless steel rather then painted...- azakms

SVDs questions?
Re: SVDs questions? If you're getting a .308 Vepr, the Super Vepr is the best choice. It has a fluted heavy barrel at .7" in diameter, push button safety, and if you get the top rail scope mount design, you can mount a scope very close to the barrel. There are now 20 round magazines for the...- azakms

SVDs questions?
Re: SVDs questions? Atirador, I now see what you're talking about in having one less lug on the bolt...then an AK47. Here's an excerpt from the page you posted: The bolt functions in a similar way to the Kalashnikov design, which only has 2 locking lugs, whereas the Dragunov bolt has 3.- azakms

SVDs questions?
Re: SVDs questions? I've not heard that about the NDM having one less lug. As Santo pointed out, you can set the standard SVD next to a NDM-86 in 7.62X54r and they are almost identical. Key differences are the paint/finish used, the NDM stock is slightly shorter, the trigger group is...- azakms

SVDs questions?
Re: SVDs questions? The Chinese rifles are just as well made as the Russian SVD, the finish isn't as nice (shinny black painted finish). The scope mounting system does a good job at keeping zero and the factory scope can be changed out from the small 4 power scope to a larger 8 or 10 power...- azakms

SVDs questions?
Re: SVDs questions? I have a .308 NDM-86 and a customized Russian Molot Super Vepr in .308. Both rifles are very accurate and a joy to shoot. Here's a few pictures of both of them. Both of these rifles (if proper ammo is used) are capable of very respectable accuracy. To compare the...- azakms

SVDs questions?
Re: SVDs questions? I have a preban Chinese copy of the SVD called the NDM-86 in .308. It's a very accurate rifle and a true pleasure to shoot. Being in .308 rather than 7.62X54r side steps the crappy ammo issue.- azakms
