SVD Celebrates its 50th anniversary of service in the Russian military forces.

I'm a bit late in posting this, but July 3, 2013 marked the 50 anniversary of the SVD being adopted by the Soviet Army.  There are rumors of these rifles possibly being imported once again to the U.S.  I'm not counting on it, but it sure would be a lot of fun to own and shoot one.  Some of the members of my favorite Russian AK based forum (Guns.ru) posted photos of these fine specimens below.

At one time Izmash made a prototype laminate AK-100 Series buttstock.  I would love to own it!  Until then, here are some pics of this work of art thanks to the guys at Guns.ru.  Enjoy!

Here are some great pics from one of the guys at Guns.ru.  These photos compare the Type 2 milled AK-47 to an AKM.  Enjoy!
