Attention Owners of Dragunov Tigers - Help with the Recoil

[flak88mm]

Roger I haven't looked into it but will do so now. Even w the regulator there's still alot of recoil

[IEatZ28]

Now you just have to get the 1PN34!

[flak88mm]

That's nice man. I'm looking for a posp 4-12x scope

[IEatZ28]

That would be sweet, I have a pso 6x36 I may also put a SVD mount and rock that but I haven't decided yet. So many optics, per 1 rifle haha

[IEatZ28]

I wish you were closer too, take both SVDs, and SVTs out one day

[flak88mm]

Yeah I have both. The svt40 I have is also the sniper version with the sniper notch on receiver that thing can compete w the svd

[IEatZ28]

I know, haha we were texting about em a while ago haha.

Oh you have one with the notch too?! Lucky hahaj

[flak88mm]

Yup that thing hardly jams too

[IEatZ28]

I can dig that, I need to adjust me gas setting on my 41 izzy Finn capture. Won't cycle 100%. It was set to surplus 148gr but I was shooting new production with a hight grain

My PSL parts kit came with the safety sear assembly parts, and my Tennessee Guns receiver didn't come with the hole.

So did mine for both

Ok I have installed a gas regulator (with pin holes to release excess gas) and shot 150 gr and 182 grain .311 diameter commercial ammo. It still has alot of kick.

Is there any other way to reduce the recoil? I have read online that some guys have drilled slightly bigger holes on the pin holes but I dont want to do that since the one I put in is a military gas regulator and plus i dont want to ruin it. (to me its like drilling holes into a receiver if you do that).

Maybe reloading .308 diameter bullets will reduce recoil? So far I have only used reloaded .311 diameter bullets. Any advice is appreciated.

Have you tried using a muzzle brake?

[flak88mm]

Well it already has a muzzle brake / flash hider on it

Porting the barrel and a larger brake. Also can add a recoil pad.
