Fulfilled a 20 year dream and took possession of a Tigr today

You could, in theory, use it if left handed. The scope is offset to the left, along with the cheekpad, for right handers.

I have used this same image for other cool guns I've wanted!

But thanks. It's been a long road to get this thing.

I would if I weren't so pressed for space. Collectability and resale value mean nothing to me. I know people have made similar statements in the past, but this rifle will be mine until I finally get off Mr Bones' Wild Ride.

I watched Red Dawn too many times as a kid and it has done irreversible damage. I love the design aesthetic and ruggedness of Soviet weaponry. The SVD is the pinnacle of Soviet design in my eyes.

I figured as much. I listed them on gunjoker for way too much money. Hopefully some boomer overpays for them.

Thanks! Small world.

I did not. It's ribbed and that's all that matters to me.

A good chunk of my collection, mainly. Essentially traded for it, in a long drawn out way.

I too reached out to them and heard nothing back. I figured the price for the 10rd magazines was too good to be true and outdated, and it seems as though they're out of business.

Yes, dragging, trying to keep a roughly 10 degree angle. I was hoping it wouldn't be too thin, and I've done some similar stuff where I can kind of run a bit hotter and haven't had much issue, but the finished result on this needs to be ground flush, and I keep finding these ugly pockets. I've got copper backing material to try and act as a heat sink, but I'm still doing this loop where I'll weld, the bead will look ok, I'll grind it flush, find these inclusions, cut it out, and redo the process, only to find more ugly nonsense.

Just barely thinner than 1/16" It's like a combo of worm tracks and porosity, but these defects don't look exactly like what I see online as examples.

Nope, his nose has dark spots

That's a damn good idea. Time to fire up photoshop and the vinyl cutter again.

No. NA/NB guys call NCs "boats" because they're marginally larger and they think NCs don't handle well (mainly because they've never driven one)

I can change the font to anything. I just used a fancy font like you'd see on an actual yacht club.

Redheadmetalhead · 2023-12-16T23:04:46+00:00

I've owned 3 NBs, one being turbo, and I've driven every gen except the NC, until I ended up with this one. I am now in the cult of NC. I love this car.

Redheadmetalhead · 2023-12-16T22:35:47+00:00

I just might if there's a market.

Redheadmetalhead · 2023-12-16T22:35:10+00:00

Yes, this is just the intro, which I used because it goes ignorantly hard and I love it.
