My Dragunov SVD

Not bad, where'd you snag the PSO-1 and mounting rail from? Also, what did you use for the receiver cover?

Also, does the illuminated reticle in the PSO-1 still work? Or is the battery terminal fried?

Also, what real gun did you destroy to get the gas transfer tube from?

Please tell me you didn't demolish something like my baby here:

Ah a fellow firearms snob! you should fit in nicely around here. Welcome aboard.

realy good job all i would say is maybe that its all black i liked the wood thing of the real gun. i wish i had the knowledge and patience to do something like this. u gonna make any other guns.

Well, I based my mod on the SVD Dragunov modern version, this version is made of polymer and is wildly used in the Russian Army, the clasic version (wood hand guards and stock) is used in other armies and I was not interested on.

I also made an AK-74 modern version as well, I will post it in the future

you have got to put a video of u using this thing up on youtube or something. and copy the link here. that would be awsome to see the accuracy and just to see it shoot. lol

Unfortunately I don't have a video just yet. Here are some pros and cons of this marker:

PROS: It shoots very accurately, there were no balls flying out of the normal path. I didn't brake any paint balls during the whole game, the bi-pod helps a lot when you are conceal waiting for the enemy. It produces a terrorizing effect on the opposite team when they see this monster. Also the noise level of this marker is very low (I prefer a louder marker). And finally, It is sturdy, I dropped a couple of times and I also used it as a shield every time we had to go through a thick brush.

CONS: it is 43" long, not good in close quarters, hard to acquire a target with the scope and goggles, it wights 8 lbs. (This was not an issue for me, but for a weak player it is)

MYTHS: This marker doesn't expend more or less air (I set up to the maximum speed the paintball field allows, 280f/s). It doesn't shoot any further than any other marker either.

EQUIPMENT: Tippmann A-5 with a 20" J&J Ceramic barrel, and Blazer paint balls

DAY CONDITIONS: Warmer, cloudy (75F)

i hear ya with the length maybe getting a little shorter of a barrel or finding a way to make the back of the gun a little shorter. idk as far as the scope thing what do u mean.

There will always be PROS and CONS, if I eliminate all the CONS, most likely I will end up with a marker that definitely will not resemble an SVD Dragunov

It is hard to look through any scope or binoculars wearing paintball goggles, this also applies to my SVD with this scope

ya i dont like scopes on a PB marker simply because of the mask.

scopes don't work well on markers.

To expand on this observation for newer players: The stock Tippmann velocity adjuster restricts air flow as opposed to altering the amount of air released from the valve. This means that every shot releases the same amount of air no matter what barrel length is used or the velocity is set for. Thus, you can make quite a few alterations and see no change in air efficiency.
