Built at Izhmash and dated 1994 on the receiver, this Russian Tigr is a pre-ban import marked by Century Arms International, St. Albans VT. Factory marks are present, including the Izhmash triangle-with-arrow and the circled Cyrillic acceptance/proof "РС". Matching serial numbers are present on the bolt carrier, rear receiver/tang, and inside the receiver cut.
The rifle uses a semi-automatic, gas-operated, short-stroke piston system with a rotating bolt. It has a milled steel receiver finished in a protective phosphate/painted coating and SVD-style exterior lightening cuts. A bolt hold-open is integrated in the trigger pack, and controls include an AK-type safety lever.
The 530 mm (20.9 in) barrel is plain crowned with no muzzle device. Sighting equipment includes a hooded front post and a barrel-mounted tangent rear sight leaf with 1–3 graduations. A front sling loop is fitted under the gas block for carry.
Furniture consists of a one-piece laminated wood stock with a skeletonized thumbhole design and a 12.5 in length of pull. The long, smooth, non-vented black polymer handguard complements the stock and provides a durable forend profile.
An original BelOMO PSO-1M2 4x24 scope is installed on an SVD-pattern quick-detach side-rail mount. The PSO reticle features the classic chevron with a stadiametric rangefinder, and the optic includes an on/off illumination switch marked "ВКЛ/ВЫКЛ". The scope bears a "MADE IN BELARUS" marking, matching the period-correct setup buyers seek for a Tigr.
