Why not make an Iraqi Tabuk sniper rifle instead? Or a Yugoslavian Zastava

Accurate and definitely possible.
If you are near the border, suggest having one ( a JG SVD ) shipped to a UPS store just across the border by a US retailer. Pick it up, and strip it down, ditching the receiver. Then drive it back across declaring the amount as toys.
Of course you'll have to worry about getting an AK47S receiver imported, but this gets you most of the way there.

$104US for what is essentially an SVD "parts kit" once you ditch the receiver, that's a pretty sweet deal.
