Well I finally got my A&K SVD :D and a bargain second hand price hehe

Wooden kit now being ordered and also a PSO scope :)

I love this thing. It fires at just under 400fps but I may upgrade the spring as it is fitted with the lighter one.

it will go nicely with the ghillie I'm making



 
Nice! :) take it you got legal defense? I've gotten two toned guns at bargain prices in the past as well :)

 
Yes I have defence, just the two tone was a lot cheaper than buying a black or wood version

 
Does anyone know how to remove the rear sling mount on these? I might need to do so when the wooden one arrives

 
Am i the only one that finds it cringy when people use "toy" to describe their new stuff? :ph34r: Anyway, nice rifle! would like to see it when wood kit is installed etc

I have the same gun, very good. Although mine has a weird habit of shattering 1 in 10 BBs fired mid-barrel. I don't use it so often because my tiny arm muscles can hardly handle the cocking on it, but it's fun for target shooting. I get a BB leak aswell, but it's only 1 or 2 out of the reasonably sized mag it has (30rd, isn't it?). It's a bloody rugged gun aswell (like my Tokarev, which also happens to be a Russian gun... gotta love Russian designs), it's taken a few knocks, the safety lever is broken, but I've not noticed a performance drop or anything since I've owned it. All in all, good catch, it's gonna look amazing with a wood kit, in fact I should really get one of those...

 
Very nice. I'm loving the gillie suit As well, how much time have you spent on it?

I dont think that kind of stuff is allowed on the forums.

If it's done tastefully then it's "art" which makes it fine haha

Anyway nice suit mate. How breathable is it?

Its not so bad ventilation wise. I originally just tied strips of hessian to it and that was hot. Since then I have stripped the hessian down and have effectively cut the weight and density down by 50%. I still wouldn't want to run much in, so hoping to use more in static techniques

Thanks Lozart. I am planning to rebuild the head as I was never pleased with it. I would like to build a fibreglass under skull and a latex over skull. I am also toying with the idea of install a piano wire mechanism to lift the lips when the mouth opens (producing a sneer like feature).
