Whats the market price of a fully militarized Tiger Dragunov with all Russian parts but with two Russian 10 round mags like one in photo? How rare are they to find with military stocks and flashiders?
Sorry people, I don't get it..... Why even bother trying to "de-Tigering" a Tigr. It will not be an SVD anyway..... And for the cost of "militarized" tiger which is nothing more than a hunting carbine with few bells and whistles, one can get an NDM (and sometime save some money That is if one wants to deal with Chinese weapons.....
The Tiger may be a Dragunov, but it is not an SVD, regardless of what it bolted on, any more than a Remington 700 is an M24. It just isn't.

As far as I know, Tigr does not have an adjustable gas system. Yes, it is manufactured on the same factory and the same equipment as the military SVD, but so are many other weapons, including shotguns and sporting rifles. Tigr is a self-loading hunting carbine that basically uses the same mechanism as the Dragunov minus few important features. I think that it was discussed in detailes on this forum before....
As for the NDM - yes, this is exactly my point with Chinese weapons (add Chinese cars (ever seen one ? - go to China and few other pieces of Chinese equipment - they are nothing more that a copycats. It seems that they are good at copying things, but it's still a copy, not a real one..... I also have problem with their technological "shortcuts", but this is another story....
Oh, not to open a can of worms, but what is really "closer" to real military true and honest Russian SVD? Tigr or NDM
