It's shorter than you'd think... at least to me it was.
I saw no resemblance to the AK-47, other than the cosmetic parts.
I dunno. You may want to research it a bit more, or call Centerfire and ask some questions about it, if you have any. They're really nice people. =] I'm sure they'd be glad to help you out.
Not to copy it.
To completely understand the engineering, the metallurgy, the ballistics,
the quality of construction, and the accuracy.
It was part of the ongoing program to accumulate Russian and Chinese weapons with the goal of always equipping the American military with
superior weapons.
In the early days of Vietnam it was thought Russians were in the field using the rifle against American forces.

I owned one for about 2 years back in the early 90's (when the REAL ones sold for less than $800.). I traded it at a gun show because it wouldn't shoot groups acceptable to what I thought a rifle reputed to be a "military sniper rifle" should print. On its best day, with the very best loads I had worked up for it, it would barely shoot 1.5 MOA in a 10-shot group. There were 3 shot groups that would hold inside 1 inch, but they were the exception.
Back in the 70's, you couldn't get Coors anywhere in the St. Louis area... so when you could find it, it carried a price tag associated with the allure of something you couldn't get easily. After owning the Drag, I put it in the same category... and traded it off. And now, of course, they're much higher. But you can get 3 GOOD shooting AR's for what you'll pay for a Drag. But to each his own. If you want one, have the cash, then by all means GET one.
