      Section 1

      Introduction

      The objective of this manual is to allow the reader to be able to use the various SVD weapons competently. The manual will give the reader background/specifications of the weapon; instructions on its operation, disassembly, and assembly; proper firing procedure; and malfunction/misfire procedures. Operator-level maintenance will also be detailed to allow the reader to understand and become competent in the use and maintenance of the SVD rifle.

      Description

      The SVD (Снайперская винтовка Драгунова, pronounced Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova) is a short-stroke gas-operated weapon. When a round is fired, some of the gases that are produced from the burning of the powder enter a small gas port and push on a series of small pistons, which forces the bolt back. As the gas pressure drops, the bolt is then pushed forward by a spring. It then strips another round from the magazine and is ready to fire again.

      The characteristics of the Soviet SVD Rifle:

      Background

      The SVD Dragunov (Russian: (Снайперская винтовка Драгунова, pronounced Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova) was designed by Jevgenyíj Fjedorovics Dragunov in the Soviet Union between 1958 and 1963. The Dragunov entered service with the Soviet army in 1963 as a main infantry sniper rifle. It replaced the Mosin Nagant bolt- action rifle. The SVD was the world's first purpose-built military precision semi-automatic marksman's rifle, and is common (along with several variants) throughout the former Eastern Bloc. The need for a new precision platoon-level, semi-automatic rifle became apparent to Soviet military leadership in the 1950s, and in 1958, a contest among Soviet arms designers was opened for the creation of such a rifle. The winner of the contest was a rifle designed by a team headed by Dragunov.

      Design

      The design by Dragunov was pioneered for sporting rifles and was easily adapted for military usage for the design contest.

      Operation

      The SVD-type rifle uses the gas-operation system to provide energy to cycle the rifle’s action during the cycle of operation. In gas operation, a portion of high-pressure gas from the cartridge being fired is used to power a mechanism to extract the spent case from the chamber and load a new cartridge from the magazine to the chamber. Energy from the gas is harnessed through a port in the barrel. This high-pressure gas impinges on a surface, such as a piston head, to provide motion for unlocking of the action, extraction of the spent case, ejection, cocking of the hammer, chambering of a fresh cartridge, and locking
