It is the Bolshevik Garand afterall.

is NOT Bolshevik Garand. Bolshevik Garand is of Tokarev, not Simunov. Simunov is of bolshevik T45.

The ones I've seen generally sell for around $300.

See, I was thinking that the Gerat 06/STG45 following the aforementioned local production/native with all the kinks and gubbins ironed out with a refined manufacturing process could act as a "cornerstone" tech for said nation, and acting as a stepping stone for future rifle stylings and technologies.

Though, I did just have another thought on quasi-retrofitted and altered arsenals. Take a Krag-Jørgensen magazine, slap on a toggle lock, or Ljungmann AG-42 mechanism, then deliver the reliability of the SVT 40. And, of all damn things, chamber it in 6.5×54mm Mannlicher-Schönauer. A glorious hybrid rifle, allowing for an enormous amount of flexibility in the field. With a simple modification, it could feed like a Johnson M1941 (the feed mechanism only), and could utilize side-loading box magazine.

Just another "trigger thought" involving firearm design.

Oh, another one, a Krag-Jørgensen magazine utilized in a shotgun design somehow.

Or should I get a SVT?

I'm going to not count this as a post.

If your Canadian, SVT-40 is amazing and in Canada are about as much as an SKS here in the USA.

If you are USA, the SKS is easier to find and costs about 60% less than the SVT-40 (350 vs. 850).

If you want, I can tell you what to look for in an SKS.

Thats about right, though prices have risen a bit, and fluctuate between 300 and 700. The Chinese carbines tend to go for the most, as far as I've seen.

I was under the impression that the Yugo ones were better.

The primary small arm of the Hodori Defence Forces is the STR6-5 ambidextrous modular bullpup rifle, chambered in the proprietary 6.5x46mm Hodoran cartridge.

Also, repost again due to new thread, and for input if my proportions/dimensions need work/are good:
6.5x46mm Hodoran cross section, Rimless bottleneck, Berdan primer, steel case. 20px=1mm.
Also I'm still not sure if I drew the primer properly.

Nope. Russian, Chinese or East German are the best IMO.

Last posting before I start shading.
I decided to go with the AK-46 style mags, because why not, broah?

A new revolver I have been working on. I have 3 other variants drawn, including one that has a wooden bit under the barrel for some reason, which I have not thought of a real purpose for besides looks. I primarily drew inspiration from various Colt designs, and hence used their stats as a basis, but certain bits were inspired by the revolver in the Metro (Metro 2033, Last Light) series. Though it is a revolver, and hence fairly simple, I still have some work to do, but would like to hear any questions, comments, or concerns others may have.

Norinco SKS' are the best models for the money. Russian's are about the best you can get. I have been looking for an East German Karabiner-S or Albanian "10 Korrik Pushkë/July 10 Rifle".

I think it makes the barrel look a bit shiny, but that's not a bad effort so far.

I'd take a really shiny barrel over a tacticrap handguard anyday.

And besides, it negates the need for a flashlight, and batteries too! what the fuck am i saying

The average American gun owner seems to think it's a good idea.

I had heard about and seen gold AKs, SVDs, and Tabuks, but platinum?
Damn. Definitely some swag right there.
Wish they didn't have to destroy a lot of those rifles.

We kept it for the length of our deployment then handed it over to be destroyed. That thing was a heavy bitch.
