Dragunov Variations: Military SVD, Izhmash Tiger, Chinese NDM-86
This video provides a detailed comparison of three distinct SVD Dragunov rifle variations: a Soviet military-issue SVD, a Russian commercial Tiger SVD, and a Chinese commercial NDM-86 chambered in 7.62 NATO. The presenter highlights the historical context of the SVD's development as a replacement for the SVT-40 and its enduring popularity in the US. While noting negligible differences in shooting and handling, the video focuses on specific internal and external components that differentiate these models, including the firing pin, gas regulator, trigger mechanism, bolt machining, mainspring, top cover, and receiver cuts. The aim is to visually showcase these variations for viewers.
