What sniper rifles are found in pakistan to buy..
I herd of a dragunov yet where to buy from...

From Punjab Province

Any people from Pakistan know more...?
 
There was a news story a while ago from the BBC about the gun markets in Pakistan. My guess is if you can get there you can get anything you want. You'll probably have a selection of Enfields, Mosin Nagants and K98's, some Dragunov's/PLC-54c's. Best bet is to go with a Mosin Nagant, because I'm sure the russians left a good amount of ammo and it's less likely to have a mechanical failure than a Drag/54c.
 
Is this for real, or are you just trolling?

If you're in Pakistan looking for a sniper rifle so you can help take out al Queda or the Taliban, I'd suggest joining the Pakistani military. If you're looking for a sniper rifle to take into Afganistan and snipe at ISAF troops, I suggest you just turn yourself into the authorities now...

There's a village --- Khyber -- that has gunsmiths who will make anything (and I mean --- ANYTHING).

Khyber is in the tribal territory --- not far from the Afghan Border - on the road to Kabul.

Not far from there, there's a watch tower, known as "Churchill's Pickett...."
 
Most guns made here (in Darra Adam Khel i.e.) are nothing but a POS. They may look beautiful but trust me you wouldn't wanna fire those thing. Although some gunsmiths can deliver you a good piece if the price is right but then again they don't have any concept of metallurgy, no CNC machines etc. Usually these guns are best suited to just hang on the wall.
 
You might be able to find some good used rifles at bin ladens old compound. It doesnt really matter when bin laden was killed, he is no longer among the living and thats fine with me.
 
Those guns in that pakistan video looked pretty tight. The parts may not be universally compatable with other guns of the same type but I am sure that each has been fitted together pretty well. Perhaps each individual gun may even have tighter tolerances than an assembly line gun.

If a part breaks though you will be out of luck without going back to the same guys to match up a new part for it.
 
I've seen some of the workshops where very good-looking Martini-Henrys, Lee-Enfields, and Webley revolvers are made, entirely by hand. The artificers are quite ingenious and very skilled. Just don't attempt to shoot any of it. The black powder muzzleloaders are works of art, throwbacks to the 19th century jezzails that bedeviled the Sikhs and the British when they entered the tribal regions in their turn.

If you want to see something you will never forget, go to the coast and watch the shipbreakers. Hundreds of men will literally beat a modern cargo ship into small pieces for salvage using nothing but hammers and saws. They work on a piecework basis, so many kilos of metal a day, so many rupees, just enough to maintain the next days labor.

Because those are apparently the only two things one can do with a rifle.

This thread just veered WAAY out there.
 
I must interject that I converse with some Pakistani shooters at thegunforum.net regularly, and they are just as dedicated shooters as anyone over on this side of the large pond. Quite polite and educated, good shooter people.
BUT, purchase of a military style magazine fed semi auto rifle in Pakistan is not easy, and illegal in many places, IIRC. I believe it is known as PB, or prohibited bore. The larger caliber rifles talked about are generally bolt action.
 
@armoredMan, u r right, an ordinary citizen faces hardship to get a NPB (Non Prohibted Bore firearm i.e. S/A Pistol, Revolvers, S/A & P/A shotgun & S/A rifles in just .22 caliber and B/A rifles of big caliber), Let alone a PB firearm(Any fully automatic pistol, rifle).

Only those with a lot of money and proper links with the high ups can get their hands on them LEGALLY.

@BrianBM, I appreciate that u really want to take the look on the other side of the coin. I don't want to violate the forum rules by going further off topic but just to answer your question, let me just give you a food for thought to ponder upon and want you to ask yourself that : The pics of Osama were not released apparently so that people don't get furious and other such stuff. Ask your self, when live death of Saddam could be broadcasted to the whole world to see, his sons bloodied bodies' pics were aired, what damage could some pics of dead OBL have done? & what was the hurry to burry the most wanted man in sea?

If you are seriously interested to get further look on the other picture, I would be more than happy to reply you in PM.
Thanks

Is sniper rifle the common shooter lingo, cause around here that term usually gets a 1/2 dozen corrective replies, unless it's going to be used expressly for sniping. Maybe it's one more language barrier I'm unacquainted with, no doubt there are many.
 
My last Draganov cost me PKR 450,000 (original Soviet era) but I've heard it gone upto 850k. There are Chinese replicas (Tiger) also available.

You'll also need a Prohibited Bore License so that's another PKR 125-130,000.

In the current scenario and carry restrictions its kind of useless to buy one.

Most of the firing ranges wont allow it and even if you find one, while enroute, you'll be grilled by the authorities if stopped at the checkpoints for carrying a Prohibited Bore weapon even if it's licensed, so not worth.
 
arent all those laws limited to built up areas. According to the video in the back country and lawless areas of Pakistan you can own and shoot whatever you want.
