I don't know why I built this thing

On impulse, I bought a model of a sniper rifle from the Internet. I just built it. It is all metal, and well made. It even came with a little screwdriver. It has a detachable clip and little bullets. I do not own a gun and have never fired a gun. I think it will look cool on my desk, and I like ot for reasons I do not understand.

Here it is.

Dammit I was so excited by the lead picture before I read the text then looked back up and realized the scale.

“Snayperskaya”

TIL that Russians either don’t have a word for “sniper” or prefer to just use the English term.

But you live in Merika. You could just have the real thing!

Neat! The tiny little bullets are a cute, look fairly sharp, and probably very easily lost.

The SVD was designed more as a DMR.

Bet it’d be pretty intimidating if you left it pointing at the seat your “guest” occupies.

Ya goddamn commie!

Those rifles are pretty fun to  shoot. The Russian SVDs can be pricey, but the Romanian PSLs can usually be had for a lot less.

It’s not even a cigarette lighter?

There are some boxes of real 7.62x54r downstairs, but they’re not held for anything as spendy as a Dragunov, just a Mosin Nagant.

Nonetheless, *soviet intensifies*

If you like putting together tiny military things, I can recommend Tamiya's small tanks as excellent model kits. I have a Universal Carrier around here somewhere that was a joy to assemble.

Put the rear sight down. It’s not a ladder sight, its a tangent sight. Just a pet peeve of mine when folks who don’t know better take the rear tangent sight and push it up that way. Really neat model otherwise. I’m still kicking myself for not picking up a real SVD when they were “reasonably” priced. I guess you can’t touch one these days for less than $10k-$15k.

I’ ve shot one of these. The design is very Soviet but goddamn is it intuitive. Big and cl unky and metallic but very effective. I don’t understand why they’re so expensive given how many of them are floating around the second and third worlds, but I totally understand why they’re desirable.

Well if you do ever want to shoot some guns, we can definitely do that
