Only manual reload version is available. Sorry for confusing, there's an overall description of the rifle on the website

This target was shot at 100 meters by Jim and witnessed by a Major in the NZ Army, the group is Sub MOA. Using BARNAUL off the shelf, 203gn SP ammunition.

NZ Army sniper’s course, demonstration the TIGR/SVD. Clay pigeon was hit at 850 metres using BARNAUL off the shelf, 185gn FMJ ammunition.

Hi all, we've followed the comments here and accept the criticism; it is all well founded. As an explanation, in mitigation, we tried to manage the web site build being done in Russia with in-put from NZ and as a result, in the pressure to get the product lunched, some generic articles were used and these have caused confusion - on our mail-outs to existing clients we noted that these were not semi-automatics and that they had 10 round magazines.

We'll work with Kalashnikov Concern [Russia] to correct this issue and hopefully, to avoid any such confusion in the future.

Sounds fair, the Xmas rush does cause mayhem from time to time. These look like great rifles, all the best☺

Thank god for that my knickers were getting rather knotted not that I was going to buy one anyway

It'd be great if you could offer the Tigr in its native semi-automatic version.

Ryan, yeah, that will come just wait.

I like the sound of this!

@KalashnikovNZ can the manual operating ones be retrofitted to semi?

Like most things, with the right skill level, you can make many things! Essentially, the gas port is missing and it is our understanding that you would need to be able to dismantle the gas system and drill the barrel for the correct dimension port [and in the right location]. The balance of the conversion would be the insertion of the gas cylinder and the piston. if you could do that, then you could most probably make a TIGR from scratch.

We'll see if the factory can offer more information on this for you - NZ Police were happy that this was not a simple conversion job for eh back-yard hobbyist.
