Scarce Norinco NDM-86 ''Dragunov'' Sniper Rifle
serial #701016, 7.62x54R, 24 1/2" barrel (27 1/2" overall including compensator) with a bright excellent bore. This desirable rifle retains 98% black enamel finish, showing only scattered light handling and high edge wear; the bolt retains 98% of its matte gray finish and shows a few spots of light oxidation staining. The skeletonized laminate pistolgrip buttstock with Bakelite pistolgrip cap and two-piece vented forend remain excellent, showing scattered light dings and handling marks throughout with a few scant flecks of missing finish here or there. The buttstock is numbered ''300588'' and is equipped with a removable leather cheek rest which rates excellent. The numbered components are matching to the gun, and there is a clear importer marking visible on the left-side of the receiver – the right side ''NORINCO / CHINA'' markings remain crisp and excellent. It is equipped with a 1,200-meter tangent rear and drift-adjustable globe front sight which is mounted via dovetail into the integrated muzzle device assembly. Included is an original 10-round ''waffle'' magazine which rates excellent, period sling, and the original cardboard box which includes the original packing list. Also included is a 1979-manufactured Chinese Type JJJ 4x24 powered optic, remaining excellent with crisp clear glass, which comes with a lovely slate of original accessories including the matching metal carry case, replacement switches and emitter diodes, original scope cap, two rubber eye cups, original cleaning cloth, and manual and paperwork which are printed in their native Chinese. These Norinco-made rifles were marketed as sporting-use facsimiles of the famed Soviet SVD, and have garnered an excellent reputation in their own right. The long-standing importation ban on Chinese firearms has spurred significant and ongoing collector interest, and this complete and high-condition package represents an exciting opportunity to secure a scarce and desirable rifle which is sure to appreciate.
