American Soldiers and their love of the Dragunov

I have talked with a couple of National Guardsmen and they love the Dragunov. I have only seen Romanian versions here in the US.

Images of Dragunovs in Iraq. May take a while to load.
Warning an image of Dragunovs on fire.

Free Stuff - Plans to build a homemade .50 in PDF format below (last set of plans). Not much good unless you can weld, use a metal lathe and a milling machine.

Very nice. This is my favorite pic you have posted so far. Looks like I can make out the word Tiger on the reciever. I saw a Tiger sell recently for $3300 on Gunbroker. Somebody snatched it up at the buy it now price.

Thanks Guys, this one is a Russian Tiger, I did quite a bit of work on it to bring it up to SVD configuration. The flash hider front sight base was a problem, it had to come out of Russia via a third Country. The laminated handguards were tough to match to the buttstock too.
