Ukrainian made by Snipex part of the XADO Corporation and adopted by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. You will need sandpaper, files, drill bits and taps if you want to make this the most realistic as possible. This is not a print and put together gun. This is a higly accurate printed replica, however some accommodations have to be made to allow for 3D printing. Look over the instructions before printing and assembling. You will need a 1" and a 1/2" copper plumbing pipes (sized to North American standards) as well as some brass rods and pipe stock. The lengths are in the instructions. This model has many movable features, such and a repositionable cheek rest that raises and lowers, a rear armature that raises and lowers, a removable scope that sits on an accurate Picatinny Rail, functional bipod legs, movable trigger and a functional carry handle. This is for experienced modellers and has many parts. The model is designed to be disassembled into 2 pieces for storage. The bolt actually loads rounds from the magazine into the chamber, but I haven't perfected the extraction mechanism. If you have ideas, I'm open to hearing them. I used Tamiya TS-3 Dark Yellow for the main body. The Rustoleum Chalked Cocoa Bean turned out to be way to light, so you may want to choose something less brilliant. This is a prop. NOT A FIREARM. It cannot be made into a real weapon. An airsoft or paintball conversion may be possible, however this was not initially designed for that purpose.
