Laugh all the way you want. However, if you are in his shoes and no parts are to found anywhere, you will do same if not better.
BTW, send him an SVD part kit and he will be all set.

This is most likely make-shift shooting range for training and testing rifles.

Looked again and don't see any hearing protection on anyone.

With nothing to anchor the recoil spring to, there would be nothing to stop the bolt's rearward travel.

Things could get rather exciting on the shooter's side if he decides to pull the trigger.

It looks to me like there is something there. The recoil spring wouldn't just sit there without something. I think it is obscured by his beard behind it.

Looks like there's a string tied to the spring... And going down to the trigger. (Hmmm....)

You're right. It looks like the string is tied to the end of the spring guide that should go into a slot in the rear of the receiver, but here is tied further back to the stock. The other end is tied to the stock through the trigger guard. Without a channel to contain the spring as it compresses, I sure wouldn't put my face behind it and pull the trigger.

Okey dokey there... I understand you gotta do what you gotta do but that looks dogy at best. I would not put my kisser behind that bolt and recoil spring and pull the trigger!

Nope :headscratch
