IZHMASH RUSSIAN DRAGUNOV / SVD 7.62X54R MILITARY SNIPER RIFLE. 

Description

NOW SOLD SUBJECT TO CALIBRE VARAITION PAPERWORK. AS SUCH ITS NOW TOO LATE AND SERIOUSLY UNLIKELY ANY MORE WILL EVER COME THIS WAY GIVEN CURRENT WORLDWIDE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE OLD ‘HAMMER AND SICKLE’ BRIGADE!

IZHMASH RUSSIAN DRAGUNOV / SVD 7.62X54R MILITARY SNIPER RIFLE.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY INDEED WITH A 7.62X54R SVD / Izhmash Dragunov Russian Military Sniper Rifle up for grabs.

As for the Durham firearms licencing expert: DON’T get excited. This is NOT a semi-automatic version. Rather converted to STRAIGHT PULL so STANDARD Section One Firearm category to COMPLY with UK LAW. (ANY questions your welcome to ask).

For a pretty comprehensive history there is quite a bit of ORIGINAL information available here:

Just click on the link and it should open another window. Only other comment is DO PLEASE make a donation if, as and when asked for. Does not need to be much but don’t simply ‘promise’ to do it next time. Get your butt in gear and do it there and then!

Back to the rifle: For those of you who have seen the film AMERICAN SNIPER about the US Navy Seal Sniper Chris Kyle. These is the same as the rifle his main combatant (for want of a better term) was using.

This one is basically as good as ANYTHING you will ever likely be able to find. Even with a trip direct to the factory IF they were still produced! As above this is UK legal after being converted to a Straight Pull operation to eject and re-load etc.

24 ½” (622mm) with a stock pull length of 12 ½” (317mm). Together they bring in an overall measurement of approx. 48” (1220mm). INCLUDING the Factory Fitted 3” (75mm) Muzzle Break / Flash Suppressor. Scales register a bare rifle weight of 9 lbs 13 ½ oz (4 468 Kg). The MATCHING / CORRECT Scope and mount adding a further 1 Lb 10 ¼ oz (742 g). As such circa 11 ½ Lbs (4.5 Kg) combined … near enough.

As stated this is in all but IMMACULATE condition. Certainly good enough for the very best of

ANY collection.

2 Piece of what LOOKS to be a Steam Formed Plywood / Laminated Ventilated Forend. The Original Open / Iron / Battle Sights with Graduations from 100m out to 1200m. A Spring Loaded Adjuster for Super-fast set up. A ‘MUST’ considering where these were designed to be used etc. Original Spring Loaded / Auto-Deploy Fully Adjustable Bi-pod. Large Capacity Detachable Magazine. Birch (?) Ply Skeleton Butt Stock WITH the Original Padded Cheek Rest still Clipped in place.

INCLUDED with the sale is the MATCHING and CORRECT Russian Sniper Scope pictured with 100% Correct Mount. There is even printed out User / Maintenance Manuals to accompany them both too.

Rock Island Sale for December 10^th 2023. Lot #3761.

TAKE NOTE of the GUIDE price ALONG WITH the REALISED / HAMMER price. THEN add on whatever the auctioneers commission PLUS any taxes etc. would work out to. Here in the UK that would generally equate to circa 30% total ON TOP of the winning bid. OK, that is in original Semi-Auto format but we are NOT allowed here so somewhat irrelevant.

IF you don’t consider this worth the price then PLEASE just keep on moving and don’t waste time for either of us. Pretty sure there will be enough that realise the opportunity.
