An idea. Sorta like an SVD meets PKM.
 

Hey guys. I have a pretty weird idea.

I like the design of the SVD/Dragunov, as its a beautiful sniper rifle. But unfortunately, I am not a "sniper" type of person.

Now with that said, I am also a fan of the PKM light machine gun. Its nice, but not my type of gun either but I'm into Assault Rifles, that have decent accuracy. ;)

Now, heres where my idea comes into.

What if you were to make a cross breed. Like an SVD with a shorter barrel, bigger magezine, and full automatic capabilities. That'd strike my fancy.

I have a Aftermath Kraken which I like, but I feel that I could do so much more with it. (In terms of custom modifications.)

I was thinking of something like, an AK47 base, with a SVD Stock (or the default AK47 stock if I dont want to house a stick type battery inside the gun), with a barrel extension (Like silencer or something that screws on the end of the barrel to make it longer), with a box magezine. (Or a barrel magezine or the default magezine that a Ak47 uses.). I'd use keep the same foregrip thats on the Ak47. I like it much more than the long foregrip thats on the SVD.

How that sound? Probably sounds pretty ugly or useless.

In the end, imagine an Ak47 with or without a modified stock, longer barrel, and 4x scope.

Heres where my noobie questions come in.

1) Since the internals of the gun, would probably stay unmodified, is there any certain length of barrel extension that you guys suggest? (Like, after a certain length, does accuracy not increase anymore? Which means anymore than that length would be for looks only.)

2) Would 4x scope be reasonable for airsoft? 4x scopes are only like $15 on http://www.riflescope-shop.com/ .

3) Theres a type of scope mount that comes from the side of the gun, rather than being attached to a rail. Whats that called, and where can I buy them?


Thanks guys.

Like a JG SVD

Well it's not really going to be an SVD because of the receiver. It's just going to be an AK-47 with SVD Furniture.

So it's more of a Egyptian Maadi long barreled RML

Get a Russian Side mount and use a Russian Scope like a PSO-1 scope.

Thanks man! Thats like almost exactly what I was thinking for mine to look like.

(Just a bigger mag, and a slightly different barrel extension. Like a madbull one from ehobbyasia or ebaybanned, IF its possible to get those through the border.)

Also, anyone else think this is a cool stock thats on this RML/AK which is pictured on the link below? http://ee.ar15.com/uploadImages/2009...15000_File.jpg

It's not exactly what you are looking for, but it's an idea.

Tabuk sniper rifle, there are some better pictures on Google.

My god, that is nice.

Except the mag reminds me of an amputee.

Wow, the tabuk is like exactly what I want. (Just no hollow stock, and a slightly different barrel.). Awesome.

EDIT: Theres 3 cheap scopes that I am looking at currently. They're all 4x scopes. For around $20. One is crosman (CRAP. EW EW), one is Tasco (Which seems to be pretty decent.) and one is NcStar.

All 3 of them, say they go on a 3/8 dovetail rail. From reading on ASC, I will need to get a weaver rail adapter that would fit the scope from a local "walmart".

if it's going to be a russian gun SVD\ PKM its going to need russian scopes no rails :D

I know that.

I'm just checking the possibilities. I can get a russian style side mount for scopes, that has a rail on top. I just have to check if that rail is a weaver rail. (As, the current scope thats I'm looking at has a dovetail rail, but there are posts saying that I can get a weaver rail adapter for the scope.)

get a russion bipod for it too, (should mount directly onto barrel) bevlieve me, I've hefted around a dragunov for quite awhile, and they take a long time to swing around, all the extra weight forward on the gun is gonna change how it feels aswell,it'll be like packing around a real long 2x4, by your profile pic you dont look too old and no offence it comes with age, not that strong, their not something your going to be running around with. you'll be stationary mostly, this means a change in tactics aswell.

Heh...I don't think that's him. :p

haha, I should change that pic. Thats from a funny article in the Toronto Sun, saying that the kid is playing "airsoft". No hes not. Damn crappy clearsoft.

Im 18 by the way.

Seems like I will need:

Russian Style Side Mount for Scopes: http://www.ebairsoft.com/metal-scope...rail-p-59.html

Plus a silencer/barrel extension.

I've been looking at cheap rimfire scopes for $20 that have a dovetail attachment. Now if I can find a set of scope rings that will fit one of those scopes (Like this one, I believe as its 1 inch: http://www.ebairsoft.com/25mm-high-s...ings-p-58.html),

OR a cheap scope with a 20mm weaver attachment, I would be set.

Hunh? Sniper rifle with a box mag?

A good scope is around $100-$150 (for airsoft). Anything else and the eye releif is horrible, everything is blurry and/or the thing falls apart.

Every noob's wet dream

what scoped RPK?
