The Chinese NDM-86 SVD Dragunov.
Our daily article series called Photo Of The Day will take you to some very exciting and unusual places sometimes. In this case, the caliber is more of a curiosity than the rifle itself, as we have a Chinese NDM-86 SVD clone chambered in 7.62 NATO. It comes from the collection of Dominion Defense LLC.
Here’s the caption from Cinematic Arms, who took the photos:
One that has been on my bucket list of firearms to photograph for a long time. Thanks to @dominiondefensellc for providing today’s post, a Norinco, Chinese NDM-86 styled and closely related to the Russian sniper rifle , the Dragunov, normally chambered 7.62x54r, this one happens to be in 7.62×51, ie 308/ 7.62 Nato.

The quality of the photos as well as the selection of firearms are really worth a follow.
