The Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova (which can be simply translated to Dragunov SVD) is one of my all-time favorite sniper rifles, next only to the M21 and the Mauser M86. It is simple, rugged, and reliable. This, the K'NEX version, is simple (after all, it utilizes a true-trigger), and reliable, and has many advantages over your basic K'NEX sniper rifle. It is accurate up to only about 40 ft., but can supposedly shoot farther (it shoots an ammunition that would be hard to find outdoors, but is easy enough to find indoors). It has a sturdy body, stock and fore grip area, but lacks the simplicity that makes good K'NEX sniper rifles better.

Features:

Good range: 40 - 60 ft.
Magazine lock / release
Scope that attaches from the side
Looks really accurate
Sturdy
Easy to hold and operate
Has a nice hefty feel to it

Now, lets move on to the first step!

Step 1: Main Body

So in this step you are going to be working on the main body. This would include:

All of the internals
The pistol grip
The internal barrel
The fake barrel
And the mechanism.

As I always say, if you need any help in any area, just ask. I'll get back to you ASAP.

Step 2: The Stock

This step is relatively simple, you'll be building the stock. I did not take the whole thing apart because it is relatively easy to build just with these pics. As I always say, if you need help, just ask.

Step 3: The Scope

This is probably the easiest step of all. The scope can be edited in any way to want. I made it for looks (I made it look as accurate as possible), but you can make it in any way you want.

Step 4: Finishing Up

In this, the very last step you will be adding the extras and the magazine, all of which, mind you, are entirely optional. The very last pic should show you what the end product should look like.

Enjoy!
