You'd have to be crazy to switch out the stock on one of those! Even a copy is worth $10k, and the furniture on one of those things is absolutely beautiful. Plus, you can tell from the mag that it's the wrong caliber. An Dragunov is chambered in 7.62 x 54mmR which was the original cartridge for the Mosin-Nagant dating clear back to the 1800's. You can see in the picture that the mag isn't long enough for a 54mm cartridge, and it's too curved for that cartridge also. Plus the mags on the Dragunov were 10 round box mags.
On a personal note, I'd give my eye teeth for a genuine Dragunov! I'd love to own one of those things! I've got rifles which will shoot much further and way more accurately, but just the "Cool Factor" alone makes me want one. "Coolness" just drips off one of those things!

If the SVD was a hot rifle, as in reported as stolen) then I can see a dimwit swapping out the stock for an aftermarket hunting rifle styled stock. As for the magazine, why have that many rounds if he was only going to shoot Trump. I mean he should have known a shoot-out with the Feds and Local Police wasn't going to happen, he'd be killed.
Since Florida has the rifle right now, I hope they use that technique to pull up the filed off numbers and see where the rifle came from.
