Fixing the SVD Free Floating Firing Pin Problem and CDNN Retrofit Failures.
Author: AKEXPERT	©	June 2, 2001 at 14:18:05

If you own a SVD there is a design problem with both units
either the. 308 or the 54r. Yes even the 54r rifles will
blow up like the. 308's. Not having a sring loaded firing
pin is just not good when it come to safty.

The CDNN spring loaded firing pins will fail as noted
below, in a few cases the spring blew out and locked the
pin in the forward most position defeating the retrofit
intent altogether.

I have been fortunate to offer the correct Russian
Spring-Loaded Firing Pin assemblies to the members of the
board. I have also retrofitted these for owners of Russian
and. 308 SVD's that have the free floating firing pins in
their bolts by correctly sizing and milling the bolts.

I cannot get the pins anymore so if you are considering
correcting this problem I can only do this for a few more
owners rifles. Also I am doing the same thing for the Yugo
M76 rifles too.

The CDNN retofits are not done correctly and the bolts were cut/drilled incorrectly, the correct assembly will help tighten up the slop inside the bolt and is a quick turn-around. If you are interested please e-mail me. Unfortunately for many there will be fewer correct conversions then the total amount imported. Thanks to everyone who posted their happines with the quality of the work provided.
