![]() ![]() We use the term marksmanship because it was never really what a Western military would consider a sniper rifle. Because I wasn't familiar with the Chinese version, I assumed it was the Russian platform. SOVIET SNIPERS, CHINESE FIGHTERS, AND THE NDM-86 At the height of the Cold War, the RKKA (Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army) was looking to replace the now 70-year-old Mosin Nagant as their standard marksmanship rifle. We take a deep dive into the history, theory and implementation behind the SVD, and look at why the Soviets had one of the world’s most advanced sniper weapon systems… in the 1960’s. It’s an all but identical Chinese variant of the Russian SVD NDM-86 Dragunov. ![]() The Dragunov SVD is one of the most iconic Sniper/DMR rifles to exist, but is it good? What makes it tick?

In addition the rifle comes with a three section Chinese cleaning rod and front sight adjustment tool. This scarce rifle comes equipped with a huge assortment of original field accessories, to include an original Chinese leather rifle sling, Russian magazine/field pouch, with four additional original Chinese ten-round magazines, an original Russian Scope warmer for the lighted reticule, an original Russian yellow lens filter/cover for the scope, seven extra original blubs for the scope and two spare rubber switch covers, an original field/pocket cleaning kit, an original lens dust cloth and take down tool, and original 1985 dated scope manual, an original Norinco rifle manual, two Xerox copies of an instruction manful on the PSO scope, and a rare "AA" battery converter for the scope. This rifle has all matching serial numbers on both the internal parts of the rifle (bolt, bolt carrier, and gas system) along with the original matching numbered scope described above. This rifle has the original "SVD" laminated style skeleton stock and curved laminated handguards, along with the clamp on cheekpiece. In addition this model of scope has the original military style battery operated lighted reticule with the infrared detector, (located directly in front of the elevation knob, with the switch on the left hand side of the scope), along with the original detachable rubber eyepiece, and sliding sunshade. This style of reticule was very unique and innovative, as all you had to do was, bracket a man inside the curved upper and lower hash lines to estimate the range and then just dial in the sight on the elevation knob. A study of Chinese Mauser Mod. The rifle is fitted with the original Chinese military version of the Russian PSO-1 Sniper scope that has the original Chinese Military style range-finding sniper reticule with the correct "1.7" meters man-height range finding reticule (that was later banned form being imported) as well as the bullet-drop compensated range marked elevation dials. The number "66" is the code for the Chinese NORINCO factory. The under side of the receiver is correctly marked with "66 (inside a triangle) /1979/701055". The right side of the receiver is marked "NORINCO/NDM-86 7.62x54R" with an importer mark below that, (this is NOT a later commercial KENG's import). This example has the original style milled receiver, full length barrel with original flashider and bayonet lug, with the original hooded front sight and the military tangent rear sight.
