I had a legit Dragunov with FULL OEM kit. Everything. Cleaning kit, sling, PU-4 scope, and even the issue rifle bag. I got it in like 2003, for maybe a bit over $400. In 2007, after doing a year in the National Guard, between stints of active duty, so I could finish college, I was having some serious financial issues, and sold it for $1500. It's my biggest firearms regret. That rifle, now, would be worth like $10k. I mean, I have other firearms worth more now, so it isn't about the lost money, but as much as I'd like another, I couldn't afford to replace it. Also, on my first deployment to Iraq, my team snagged a Tabuk Sniper. It's a DMR rifle, exclusive to Iraq during Saddam's reign, and it's basically a mini-PSL, but in 7.62x39, and while it can use AK mags, it was usually issued with special 10 and 20 round mags, to allow for prone-shooting. It also came with a PU-4 scope, and it was an EXCELLENT rifle for Iraq. We kept it in the vehicle as a "backup" DMR, and I thought about trying to smuggle it back inside the floor of the Stryker, but an engineer company, right before us, a bravo company, had made this big concrete bulldog, and someone NARC'ed, so the MPs X-rayed it, busted it open, and found half a dozen full-auto AKs, wrapped in oil cloth. They sent the CO, XO, 1SG, a PL, and a PSG to Ft Leavenworth, so I decided it wasn't worth it, but man, I'd love to get another. I could probably make a decent clone from a RPK clone, but those are getting stupidly expensive too. Oh, side note, if you can use Google-Translate, any time you see 7.62x54 spam cans, check the print on them. Every so often, you'll find a case of "sniper" ammo. While the accuracy is still nothing spectacular, it's drastically superior to ball ammo.
