Tomorrow is my birthday and I foresee a mod in my future. I'm bouncing back and forth between the SVD and the v2 private that's got copper, brass, and stainless steel, both from fasttech. Anyone have any input on which they prefer? I know it's like comparing apples and oranges but I'd still like your input. I'm leaning more towards the SVD only because I have a vamo v2 and its malfunctioning on me I tried the fix I read and it kind of worked but I want to replace it with something more reliable. And go!
