The Daewoo DR200 is the semi-automatic civilian version of the South Korean K2 rifle, valued for its reliable long-stroke gas-piston system, light weight, and stable practical accuracy.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Daewoo DR200, imported by Kimber, serves as the civilian semi-automatic counterpart to the South Korean K2 service rifle and maintains much of the platform’s proven design. Built around a reliable long-stroke gas-piston system, it merges AR-15-style controls with AK-inspired durability, resulting in a rifle known for dependable cycling, low recoil, and straightforward handling. This example features an 18" barrel with flash hider, hooded blade front sight, peep rear sight, and a Picatinny rail for optics, along with a metal folding stock in place of the original import-compliant thumbhole design. Its stamped/forged hybrid receiver keeps weight manageable while ensuring long-term strength, preserving the balanced feel that helped establish the DR200’s reputation.

Performance-wise, the DR200 is appreciated for its stable, practical accuracy and clean operation, attributes enhanced by the piston system’s tendency to run cool even during extended firing. While not engineered as a precision rifle, it delivers more than sufficient accuracy for field use, training, and recreational shooting. Collectors continue to value the DR200 due to its limited importation following mid-1990s restrictions, making surviving examples increasingly desirable. Overall, the rifle stands out as a smooth-shooting, well-built design that blends multiple service-rifle philosophies into a reliable and distinctive civilian platform.
