Welp. I collected the Grail of Grails on my list. Put an Izhmash TIGR on layaway a few months ago, found it in a listing out of a pawnshop in Colorado. Just picked it up today.
I’ve got a surplus set of Russian furniture to throw on it and need to get to work sourcing a Ruski cheekpad, bi-pod, and flash hider. I know there’s a guy around that does correct length SVD Barrels as well so that may come in the near future. For now I’m just going to admire it how it is.
I’m a happy, happy man.
