NDM-86 with polymer stock set

After years of producing SVDs with laminated wood stocks that would degrade from exposure to wet environments, Izhmash modernized the SVD with a few changes that included a new stock design.

This stock is made from thermoplastic elastomers that resist cracking under extreme heat and cold.

SVD polymer grip offset

The benefits of fitting your Dragunov with the modern polymer stocks are very clear.

Ergonomics are improved, with the pistol grip having a right-handed cant for greater gripping comfort.

Butt Plate

 

The buttplate is both larger in surface area and sits higher to absorb recoil more effectively.

The handguards are also improved with a ribbed surface giving more positive grip when wet and when wearing gloves.

These ribs are needed when seated in a transport vehicle (helicopter or land vehicle) so the user can rest the SVD on its buttplate and hold the rifle steady at the front of the handguard.

SVD polymer stock with cheek pad up A very nice feature is the non-removable cheek pad that is able to rotate out of the way for running a cleaning rod down the barrel or for using the iron sights.

There was a time when Russian polymer stock sets were so rare in the USA people were paying up to $500 to get their hands on one.

Lately they can be found quite easily on gun auction sites for half that amount.

European sellers have found out there is a market for SVD parts in the USA and to their delight they can enjoy a huge profit from parts they can can buy for about a tenth of what they resell them for to US buyers.
