There was a recall on a bunch of them from a certain vendor. May want to do some research as I don't recall offhand of what exactly the problem was or who had the recall. I own a VEPR K.

Edit to add: Never mind the recall was in regards to the Norinco NDM86's only.

Re-edited to add: There are no true Romanian SVD's they ARE the Chinese made Norinco's or actual Russian Tigers!!! Go to http://www.dragunov.net/faq.htm for all the info!!! The Romanian ones are in fact based upon the RPK receiver and fall under the PSL designation as stated above!
