Can anyone confirm if this rifle is indeed an SVT-40 transformed into a Dragunov? And if so, how was that accomplished? It's quite impressive...




(I both asked on the thread and pm'd the poster, but no response)


edit: found this on youtube. Looks like the same rifle, but still doesn't help much.



Basically, I would like to take on a Dragunov build project. Was also considering the SKS...

Its not transformed into a dragunov but sort of looks like one. A member here did such a conversion & it was mucho work. End of the day, its still a svt & shoots like a svt.
 
The gas piston/piston cup looks like an SVT-40. The bolt has the right looking bevel on the side but the cocking handle isn't there but that could have been re-located/modified. The SVT-40 safety level behind the trigger is there. I'd say it is indeed an SVT-40.
 
More impressive than I'd have guessed. Looks a lot like an Dragunov
Not really my thing; too much of a 'heat score' but neat I suppose.
Seems like one type doing a really good impression of another; maybe it's a Trans-gender rifle? Again not my thing...not judging, just saying:confused:

Ah, there you are. (I tried pm'ing you). Thanks for the link, and beautiful job! I wish I was around for the original thread, I would love to tell those haters off... (rude and ignorant asswipes)

I see you and some others say you only had pics to go off of for your builds. Give any thought to using a replica of some sort, like perhaps an airsoft? (I'm not an airsofter, but some of the ones I've seen online look pretty good. They pop up often when you google real guns...) Maybe you could use airsoft parts? ( see here for example )

Also, I see several people have asked if you would do custom builds for hire (or sell this rifle here). I as well would be interested in this. You build me an SVT-40/Dragunov, and I send you a bunch of money. Sound good? (You haven't really responded to any of these requests... have you considered it?)

Anyway, thanks again and congrats.

ps - is that you in the youtube video in my OP?

No worries... and thanks. Don't know anything about replicas... I'd be reticent for safety reasons. The 7.62x54r is a full power cartridge and, without seeing the source, wouldn't think that aluminum alloy would take the recoil without cracking/crushing. I wouldn't do another as the parts are, while availible, difficult to source... lots of time spent just sourcing parts as they become availible. Good luck if you take it on and if you run into roadblocks and want an opinion feel free to pm me... always happy to help :)
