@alexelouati you could but not easily. It has a bolt hold open on last round feature. If you drop the mag and half slide the round into the chamber, rather than just dumping it in the breach then release the bolt (requires you to hold the bolt back) then yes you can just like any semi-auto weapon.
@alexelouati Any semi auto can chamber load if you hold the bolt back and it doesnt have a bolt hold open on last round otherwise you have to remove the magazine to do that.
@rrr223 the scope is actually about 4-5 inches away from my eye. What you see if the rubber buffer my eye is against. It is designed to keep out light flares and to keep your eye at the correct eye relief for the scope.
@sgtking11b Ahh ok! I figured you knew what you were doing, saw a fellow scope himself pretty good the other day, and i guess the image is still hanging on
@rrr223 Yeah a lot of people think the scope is actually touching my eye but it is far from it. Thats the beauty of Russian ingenuity, they make it retarded simple to prevent idiot farmers from getting to close to the scope.
@MakaveliTheDon18 Yes it is a rubber "buffer" designed to keep your eye at the correct eye relief for the scope. It also serves as a light shield to keep all light out of your eye as you look down the scope so you get a crystal clear image without any lens flare effect from sunlight. There is about 3 inches of rubber from the eye to the scope so no risk of crowning your eye at all. Not to mention the PSL has a good recoil system so the compression of that rubber shield is max 1 inch at recoil.
@DieWolfen 600-800 depending the site and if it comes with more than 1 mag and a scope. Also depends if you get the TN builds or the imported Cugir one. An imported Cugir is worth 1500.00 just for the collectors value as no more are imported. I think only 3000 were imported at the most. I have both a TN and a Cugir. The Cugir is hitting 1 MOA all day long TN is hitting 1.5 MOA. I am actually looking at selling the Cugir for around 1100.00 as i do not need two of these rifles.
@sgtking11b I tried an SVD almost ten years ago ( I can't remember where it was made) but the optics came from Bielorus. I had a problem to be consistent pass 500 yards with good or rather OK ammo. The grouping was 1.5++ MOA so i was disappointed a bit, although I did heard that it can be accurate with the special ammo and the special barrel.
@BOROZ28 Like any rifle it takes hand loads speced to that rifle to be a tac driver. The best ammo surplus wise for SVDs or PSLs is the bulgarian light ball. They figured out how to press the steel core in as perfectly center as possible for surp ammo. All other ammo other than lead core has issues for misaligned steel cores causing fliers. I have a TN psl and a Cugir PSL. The TN is 1.3 MOA and the Cugir is 1.2 MOA with the bulgy stuff. Anything else and its about 1.5-2 MOA.
@Orange8Films Everything. An SVD is a rifle platform more closely related to the SKS while the PSL is a platform identical to the AK, just on a longer receiver and longer internals, re-enforced and chambered for 7.62x54r rather than x39. They are completely in every way to different weapon systems. They only look slightly a like at a quick glance. Side by side you can tell them very different event cosmetically if you look at them side by side. Check out my other vid on SVD vs PSL for more info.
@TheFapist It depends on the type you want to get. A true military PSL can run for 3,000.00 or more which you might as well buy a real SVD for that. A Cugir Arsenal build runs for around 1000.00 - 1300.00 depending on the condition. And a TN (US Assembled) will run for 450.00 - 900.00 depending on what accessories and condition it is in. I have both a Cugir and TN build and they shoot pretty much the same. The Cugir just holds more collectors value.
@TaZ101SAGA Absolutely in no way shape or form. These are internally like an AK variant. Look at my other video of explaining the differences in more details. I show a side by side comparison of the PSL to an AK.
@sgtking11b Thank You,I actually knew that.I was curious if You did too :) It's a great weapon,was my favourite during my military service.Great choice of weapon!
I think Im getting mine, adding a wire stock and shortening the barrel to 18 1/2 inches. I have heard reports of guys cutting their barrels and achieving better accuracy. The stock barrel is so thin and long it wobbles too much in my opinion.
@THEKINGOFMETROPOLIS Save your money on all thhat and just buy a Waffen Works AK-54R. It is a PSL that has a receiver designed to take all AK stocks, shorter barrel and gas system like the AK so it also takes the AK hand gaurds, etc. Its much cheaper than buying a PSL for 500.00 then spending 1000.00 for a smith to do all that. Just buy the AK-54R for 850.00 off the bat, boom done.
@THEKINGOFMETROPOLIS Yeah the company is new but they are good about taking care of any issues. The first run of the rifles were not so good, just like the TN builds of the full size PSLs but after a while they got better at them and no more reported issues. The problematic ones were all replaced and fixed free of charge to the customer so all good reviews on the company and customer service. Double thumbs up, i am going to pick one up myself.
I have a question where do you get hunting ammunition for the PSL , because according to everything i can hear or read it can't take the 180gr. or 203gr. soft point. I can find surplus ammunition for it but no soft point or hollow point. If you know of any place i can find some let me know it would be appreciated.
@1986Apache That is correct these rifles are designed for Light Ball only (155gr and under). I do not know of any places to purchase soft point or hollow point ammo for this rifle. The best thing to do is just reload your own to be safe, and it would be cheaper than store bought anyway. Remember these rifles were not designed to hunt animals with.
@1986Apache get a file and file the tip down or cut it off and its hunting legal in the US. Sand Paper also works. No risk on hurting your self just takes a little bit of time.
@ECTBWHO That is a good idea. Question is by altering the tip of the round that way you do create imperfections in the round so it will affect accuracy, maybe slap the round on a lath to sand off the tip evenly. Just be sure to do it a little at a time. Perhaps more work that its worth? In which case reload your own to insure its LB hehe.
@sgtking11b If you only file the tip down it shouldn't affect accuracy most small munitions makers "clip" the tips off to make soft points. And by sanding down not so sure. All the soft points that I have ever seen never look the same at the tip they all look a little bit deformed. That is a good point still wouldn't hurt to field test it . Perhaps more work than its worth? A hunter should only need a small handful of these cartridges. And If at surplus prices you cant really beat a little work.
@ECTBWHO Mostly it would depend on the weight of the round as to how much it would affect the bullets flight path. The lighter the round the more noticeable it will be. I have recently found some Prvi Partizan soft point 150gr ammo though for hunting. Being 150gr it is for sure going to be LB.
@colorblindvids Well the mosin is about a 1-1.5 MOA and with some modifications can be a Sub MOA rifle. The PSL is a 1-1.5 MOA stock as well and with some mods could be a sub MOA as well. So pretty much the same, it all depends on how much money you want to drop into it to bring it down to sub MOA. Honestly 1-1.5 MOA is good enough as that is what the M24 is rated for (even though you can easily get sub MOA with match ammo stock)
@sgtking11b Oh okay, I also have a Remington 700 300 WSM so I was just checking around and looking at some semi-auto marksman rifles and how they perform, thanks for the info!
@Ranger4321 M14s are nice weapons, if they were not so costly and the price of ammo so high i would pick one up myself. I like the PSL because the rifle is cheap, reliable, durable and the ammo is very cost effective (0.19 around) plus accurate to boot which is a major plus. With a little one and a wife that demands everything, cost effective is a must for me.
@sgtking11b yeah thats their downside. Even surplus ammo is pretty expensive. I love it though. I do like the cheap factor that Russian weapons and variants have with both the weapon itself and ammo. $500 for a nice DMR and even less for ammo, sure il take it. The only way i was able to buy my M14 was because im single and no dependants. Btw, thanks for your service to our country.
@Ranger4321 Well there is a cheaper way to procure 7.62x51. You could always reload it, although still the projectiles still cost more than 7.62x54r surplus, it still beats the hell out of paying $1.50+ a round.
@Ranger4321 I understand that. I started reloading for my .45acp weapons.I was tired of paying 0.39 a round or the cheap ass winchester plinker ammo. I am now paying 0.18 in materials to reload my own .45ACPs. That includes, lead, powder, primers and shells. I spent about 200.00 in equipment including the dye set total. Now i can reload all day long for 0.18. I looked at hand loading 7.62x54r but surplus is still much cheaper.
@sgtking11b yeah 45ACP range ammo has just gotten rediculously expensive for such crappy loads. Thats a heck of a lot less to pay for supplies to reload your own shells than for the factory loads. I have lucked out a few times in finding surplus 7.62x51 for a relativley cheap price, but those deals are few and far between. At the moment im lookn at gettn an AR system because 5.56 is so darn cheap its not even funny. Even tracer rounds are cheap.
@Ranger4321 yeah but the 5.56 just doesnt have a good wound cavity. x54r and x39 are still cheaper as well. Besides bigger bullet = better knock down power. x54r surplus is running .19 still and the x39 are down to .22 a round i believe now.
@SuperDwang The scope is 3" from my eye, what you see there is a rubber gaurd to keep your eye at the correct eye relief for the scope and prevents you from scoping your eye. The russians thought of it all.
@SuperDwang Yeah i had the same issue as i do wear glasses. Contacts are a god send or lasik is the next goal haha. I found the best way with eye glasses, just move the rubber forward more to comp for your glasses or just take the rubber off. Otherwise the rubber will smear your glasses.
@sgtking11b haha thanks, I will prolly just wear arena flack jack goggles and press up the rubber piece x] the round this uses is bigger than a AK or the same-ish?
@SuperDwang Completely different round. AKs use a 7.62x39mm round while the PSL, Mosin and SVD all use the 7.62x54r round. Most think the R stands for Russian, Wrong. the R stands for Rimmed. Which means unlike normal shells the very end of the shells of this round has a Rim around it. Thus allowing for loading/extracting. Keep in mind that if you do not load each round on top of one another so that the rim sits in front of the rim of the round under it you WILL get a failure to feed.
The good news though about the PSL, the magazines are designed to prevent you from stacking the rounds incorrectly. Same goes for the SVD. Although the Mosin Nagant if your stupid enough you can load them incorrectly and cause jams.
@sgtking11b lol. either way im sure this "range" is free and u can spend unlimited ammount of times with any type of firearms. I'd drive an hour for that :)
- btw im picking up a PSL (not sure the brand yet) next gun show :P got about 600 saved up and still counting. May u make a video on the scope? :P
@SuperDwang Yes its free save the gas. While i can stay out there as long as i please sometimes the sheriff is called out because the people living near by do not like the "automatic" fire to much. Though they can not set foot on the land without the owners express permission they just wait for us to come back to the car. Its always funny to see the new kids faces and the shit stains in their pants when i walk out with 8 rifles on my back and two boxes of unspent ammo. Ah the memories.
@SuperDwang I have an FFL03. An FFL03 is a C&R FFL. I have looked into a FFL01 (Class 3) and its pretty much impossible to get one unless you plan on making firearm sales your main profession. I do not have any full auto weapons no. Its just how fast i pull the trigger when i function test some rifles like the AK and SKS the idiot neighbors do not know what a full auto sounds like. If its anything faster than a bolt action they freak out and think its full auto. Typical zombie, i mean democrat.
@sgtking11b LOL yep, typical civilians. Man I want a full auto... Whats a C&R? Im planning to pick up a CCL though.... need to figure out which pistol i should get x] hahaha
@SuperDwang I would love to have a FA myself but i can tell you this. Its not very practical unless you have a large stock of ammo to back it up. Autos are more for suppressive fire and to decrease the moral of the enemy. What screws with moral more would be DMs/snipers. Think about it. Are you going to be scared of a full auto that can hardly hit its target or someone who can nail you if you even try to peak up to take a shot. A C&R is curios and relics FFL. Great for collectors of WW2 rifles.
@sgtking11b lol that is true. Man your lucky to have all this firearms. I can't wait to go in to the army and get better deals on weapons! What branch did u serve in?
@SuperDwang Army. Although being in the Army doesnt mean you get better deals on weapons. I do not like pulling the "I am Army" card to get discounts on things.
@SuperDwang I believe he should be the one doing more research. He might be one of the mentally retarded people who think the PSL is an SVD so you have to excuse him if he is a little confused, he is brain dead after all.
@SuperDwang there is not x2. The stock scope it comes with is the X4 PSO-Type 2. Yes i can do a review on that. I have a zeroing instructions video for that scope already on my channel.
@lorddinaire It is nothing but an AK system. In oder to inspect the chamber you have to place it on fire then you can rack the bolt to check the chamber and flip the saftey back up to on pos. There is no way around this and just the design of the system. If you saftey locks up just push it all the way up and back down to release the trigger system or rock the trigger forward and back like your about to fire the weapon so the rear of the trigger releases the saftey bar when locked up.
You cleared that stovepipe wrong. working the action with a stovepipe will just cause a double feed. All you have to do to clear a stovepipe is flick the casing out.
@Master7770 I know how to clear a normal stove pipe. The problem with these stove pipes the bolt carrier is exactly like an AK, when this thing stove pipes the rim of the x54r casing flips over the top of the bolt carrier and is pinned between the dust cover and top of the carrier. It requires you taking out the mag, and racking the bolt as hard as you can a few times to finally get it out, sometimes even a multitool is needed. Otherwise you have to remove the dust cover and scope to clear it.
@Master7770 the reason for the stove pipes have found to be linked to the extractor rail. It was off round just a hair making contact with the rim of the casing to soon and causing a premature ejection thus causing the casing to bounce up over the bolt carrier and lock up. Its a stove pipe from hell. Taking a file to thee extraction rail and pulling back the round angle a bit more has fixed all stove pipe issues. TN builds already do this for you, cugirs do not as this is a cugir i had to fix it
@lorddinaire Rule of thumb anything over 155gr is normally heavy ball. Double check to make sure just in case that ammo is light ball. If so then your green and fire away.
@lorddinaire Highly unlikely. Heavy ball is only used in heavier grain rounds because if you use light ball powder in a heavy grain round your FPS will be in the high 1000 or low 2000 range rather than the high 2000 or low 3000 range. If heavy ball is used in a light grain round they would simply use less powder thus keeping the chamber pressure at light ball chamber pressure and is safe to fire in the PSL. Basicly heavy ball on heavy round = more chamber pressure which is dangerous.
was wondering, i noticed the little rubber squishy piece put behind the scope on russian rifle scopes, but dont you still get your eye smashed having it so close to the scope like that?
@scktz No you dont unless your not shouldering the rifle correctly. The rubber eye piece keeps your eye at the correct eye relief to prevent crowning your eye. Although if you dont shoulder it correctly you will crown your eye but this goes for most any rifle.
@envisionstar It is an easy mistake to confuse these rifles with a SVD at a distance. They are actually completely different in both furnature and operation/internals.
@envisionstar Nope, the PSL is based on the AK action. It was meant to be a low cost supplement to the Draganov and isn't to the same standard. The quickest way to tell is look at the mag well. On a Draganov there is a fairly sizable gap that is absent in the PSL.
@n1b3luNg Both the M76 and the PSL rifle are rated on paper to be a 1.5-2 MOA rifle. There are so many factors that play into accuracy such as ammo, condition of the exact rifle, optics, weather conditions and most of all human factor of the shooters skill and capability. I cannot say off hand what kind of accuracy the M76 is getting as i do not own one. On paper they are equal.
Brand new from factory yes they will they have not been broken in yet. This is common with cugar builds. After 400 rounds through it i have never had a jam again. Just requires breaking in.
Yes the rubber eye guard is there to help block out back light from reflecting on the rear optic lens allowing for much more clear image down range, also forces you to keep a good eye relief to the scope to aid you in reducing parallax from improper eye relief, lastly it will prevent you from crowning your eye from getting to close to the scope.
Ok, Mr Sgtking11b, i sighted mine at 100 meter and it was dead on? It was however with a 180gr FMJ. Then the only hunting round i was able to get was a 203gr SP. Shot at a deer at about 200yrs and missed it. the temperature was about 20F and humid. I adjusted the scope to 1(200meters). What did i do wrong? What grainage is the PSL scope calibrated for? Any advise??
First of all you need to stop shooting anything over 150gr. You are pushing heavy ball through that rifle and you are going to destory the rifle or even injur if not kill yourself. Shooting heavy ball through this rifle will bend and damage the rivets which screws with your head spacing and that is a very dangerous thing. Use Light ball and make sure it says Light ball for the ammo. If your not sure anything over 150gr is heavy ball no acceptions.
Secondly the scope is offset about 2 inches to the left of the bore this causes you to adjust for windage at longer ranges. You zero at 100 meters but you can not just adjust your elevation you must also adjust your windage. Each click = 1.8 inches. Adjust accordingly. IE: zeroed to 100 you should adjust 1 click impact left and your impact will be slight left of the chevron so compensate for the 0.2 difference.
First of all the reticule is a 2 MOA chevron so if you are within 2 MOA your good. Secondly very hair find tuning can prove to be a little difficult the first try or two but it is not as hard a people claim. Compared to a tactical western mildot scope however the scope is designed for zero and set. The turrets are designed for bullet drop compensation unlike mildots you have to know the mathematics behind it to get on target down range. This scope, range, aim, set fire.
Easy if you know how to do it. The scope is not like normal western style scopes and requires reading the manual before zeroing. Which thats the purpose of a manual to begin with. I have no issues with zeroing these scopes the first time i picked them up even without a manual but the manual did help me to understand the scope much more in depth.
Mags were oiled after i cleaned them from cosmo. The rifle just needed a break in. After 200 rounds the jammings stopped to maybe 1 in 100. Now 400 rounds later i havent had a jam yet. Seems to be common with new from factory cugir PSLs.
I noticed that as well. My first time shooting my PSL i got a jam bout 4 out of ten times with my mags. After further use and oiling, my jams have ceased to exist.
I was thinking about getting one of these rifles. My question being does the rifle jam often? Or is this just a small mishap?I would appreciate your feedback, thanks. They seem like nice guns to me, but I have heard some rumors about their overall quality. Hopefully you can set me straight.
Yes shoulder harnesses are legal with a CCW. The purpose of a CCW is to conceal the weapon no matter how you do it. You just can not footprint or show the weapon openly.
Mine had a similar problem. It was on its first time out after the first cleaning I gave it. That thing was loaded with some kind of preservative (probably cosmoline?).
I believe though that there may be traces of cosmoline still gummed up in parts of the reciever that stick up the action a little because after a second cleaning it started behaving again. I'm trying to break it in really gently in any event. Mine was south of a grand but only just barely...
Yes that was cosmoline. Brown/amber color and waxy like substance. Some nasty stuff but great for preservation. Cosmoline is the skim off of the top when they make KY jelly.
Breaking in, well people have different opinions. You could shoot 10 rounds clean and repeat till you hit 400 rounds. This is good if your shooting lead rounds. Otherwise just sight in your scope and wrip through some rounds.
I was thinking about it however i found out that with the new scope i put on the rifle the current stock is to short to use with the scope in prone. I am looking to either bullpup the rifle to reduce the footprint with a design i am working on for my AKs or replacing it with a collapsible or folding stock in order to have the ability for a reduced footprint when carrying.
The jamming is normal for a new Cugar build. You have to break them in with about 300 - 400 rounds. Now that i have shoved 400 rounds through her i do not have a problem anymore unless im shooting shitty ammo. This rifle ran me about 1100.00 the TN build ran me 850.00
Oh yeah i know you were joking no skin off my back there. The price really is great for the heavy hitting round and durability of the rifle. Plus the mild steel core AP ammo costs .20 a round still.
This position is called the assisted sitting position. Using the leg as a rest to help stabilize the reticule of the rifle. With a large heavy rifle like the PSL (14.5lbs empty) it helps reduce the wobble you would experience holding this up int he standard sitting position. As you can see i use the rear part of the pack to seat into the meat/ tendent area just behind my kneecap so that its not bone to metal contact for better stability and comfort. Im able to keep 1.2MOA with this position easy
If you want to destroy your rifle you can. Even with gas mods i personally wouldnt shoot HB through it unless i had no other ammo and my Mosins were non functional.
I bought a PSL a couple months ago, have not fired it, and now want to sell it. Could anybody help me as to where I could go to sell it, or how much I possibly could get for it. Thank you.
PSLs have really been coming down a lot lately. They started to hit high in the 1000.00 - 1500.00. You could find some around 800.00-900.00 but now they are going for around 700.00-800.00. It also depends on the model you have and what all it comes with. If you have a Cugir build (marked on the right side of the receiver) and it comes with the scope, plus 2+ mags you could get about 1000.00 still Otherwise your only looking at the lower ranges.
No. The receiver is NOT designed for heavy ball no matter what kind of buffer you use. It still slams back just as hard. The only thing relatively useful to reduce the bolt travel speed from gas pressure due to heavy ball is an adjustable gas block. They do make them for the PSL, its ugly as sin and costly but it will allow you to shoot heavy ball as it reduces the amount of return gas is sent to the bolt for chambering a new round., I would also install the buffer for added padding just incase.
NEVER EVER shoot a heavy ball in a romanian psl rifle it kills the gas tube on the first shot. i had that terrible problem happen once will never do it again
Dragunov is my dream rifle, good ballistics, powerful, and relatively cheap to shoot! romak3 is getting very hard to find right now and still expensive too.
my local gun shop has one of those for sell (1400) comes with a scope that can spot nightvison, its not a nightvision scope, but if someone is using night vision you can see them through the scope, wonder what that kind of scope is called?
That is the Russian version of the PSO scope. Make sure it is the correct one, it should have a battery compartment. If it doesnt take a battery then they are blowing smoke up your ass.
it does have the battery compartment if i remember it was on the left side, he just keeps lowering the price cause no one would buy it, so he finally said he decided to keep it for himself.....can you explain exactly how it would work effectivley though, i mean the only way I could see it being worth anything is if you were say looking over huge open areas, seeing as how it itself isnt nightvision, or if you knew where they were coming from, and at what time?
It is known as an IR detection device. Its nothing but a very low end night vision intensifier tube that detects IR light. As all modern night vision goggles use IR LED lights built into them to help see better in no moon nights. The newer Gen 3-6 Goggles do not need to use the IR LED lights but they still have them built in. Only the Gen 1-2s need them on no moon nights. So if the IR light isnt turned on
can you load the rifle from the ejection port like most bolt action rifles?
alexelouati 1 week ago
@alexelouati you could but not easily. It has a bolt hold open on last round feature. If you drop the mag and half slide the round into the chamber, rather than just dumping it in the breach then release the bolt (requires you to hold the bolt back) then yes you can just like any semi-auto weapon.

@MakaveliTheDon18 Yes it is a rubber "buffer" designed to keep your eye at the correct eye relief for the scope. It also serves as a light shield to keep all light out of your eye as you look down the scope so you get a crystal clear image without any lens flare effect from sunlight. There is about 3 inches of rubber from the eye to the scope so no risk of crowning your eye at all. Not to mention the PSL has a good recoil system so the compression of that rubber shield is max 1 inch at recoil.

How much do these rifles normally cost?
DieWolfen 3 months ago
@DieWolfen 600-800 depending the site and if it comes with more than 1 mag and a scope. Also depends if you get the TN builds or the imported Cugir one. An imported Cugir is worth 1500.00 just for the collectors value as no more are imported. I think only 3000 were imported at the most. I have both a TN and a Cugir. The Cugir is hitting 1 MOA all day long TN is hitting 1.5 MOA. I am actually looking at selling the Cugir for around 1100.00 as i do not need two of these rifles.

sgtking11b 1 month ago
@sgtking11b I tried an SVD almost ten years ago ( I can't remember where it was made) but the optics came from Bielorus. I had a problem to be consistent pass 500 yards with good or rather OK ammo. The grouping was 1.5++ MOA so i was disappointed a bit, although I did heard that it can be accurate with the special ammo and the special barrel.
BOROZ28 1 month ago
@BOROZ28 Like any rifle it takes hand loads speced to that rifle to be a tac driver. The best ammo surplus wise for SVDs or PSLs is the bulgarian light ball. They figured out how to press the steel core in as perfectly center as possible for surp ammo. All other ammo other than lead core has issues for misaligned steel cores causing fliers. I have a TN psl and a Cugir PSL. The TN is 1.3 MOA and the Cugir is 1.2 MOA with the bulgy stuff. Anything else and its about 1.5-2 MOA.

so what is the differences between and dragunov and this rifle?
(i'm new to all this)
Orange8Films 8 months ago
@Orange8Films Everything. An SVD is a rifle platform more closely related to the SKS while the PSL is a platform identical to the AK, just on a longer receiver and longer internals, re-enforced and chambered for 7.62x54r rather than x39. They are completely in every way to different weapon systems. They only look slightly a like at a quick glance. Side by side you can tell them very different event cosmetically if you look at them side by side. Check out my other vid on SVD vs PSL for more info.

@TheFapist It depends on the type you want to get. A true military PSL can run for 3,000.00 or more which you might as well buy a real SVD for that. A Cugir Arsenal build runs for around 1000.00 - 1300.00 depending on the condition. And a TN (US Assembled) will run for 450.00 - 900.00 depending on what accessories and condition it is in. I have both a Cugir and TN build and they shoot pretty much the same. The Cugir just holds more collectors value.

I think Im getting mine, adding a wire stock and shortening the barrel to 18 1/2 inches. I have heard reports of guys cutting their barrels and achieving better accuracy. The stock barrel is so thin and long it wobbles too much in my opinion.
THEKINGOFMETROPOLIS 1 year ago
@THEKINGOFMETROPOLIS Save your money on all thhat and just buy a Waffen Works AK-54R. It is a PSL that has a receiver designed to take all AK stocks, shorter barrel and gas system like the AK so it also takes the AK hand gaurds, etc. Its much cheaper than buying a PSL for 500.00 then spending 1000.00 for a smith to do all that. Just buy the AK-54R for 850.00 off the bat, boom done.
sgtking11b 1 year ago
@sgtking11b I just found those on gunbroker actually haha. Ive never heard of waffen werks. The gun looks sick, heard anything about them though?
THEKINGOFMETROPOLIS 1 year ago
@THEKINGOFMETROPOLIS Yeah the company is new but they are good about taking care of any issues. The first run of the rifles were not so good, just like the TN builds of the full size PSLs but after a while they got better at them and no more reported issues. The problematic ones were all replaced and fixed free of charge to the customer so all good reviews on the company and customer service. Double thumbs up, i am going to pick one up myself.
sgtking11b 1 year ago
I have a question where do you get hunting ammunition for the PSL , because according to everything i can hear or read it can't take the 180gr. or 203gr. soft point. I can find surplus ammunition for it but no soft point or hollow point. If you know of any place i can find some let me know it would be appreciated.
1986Apache 1 year ago
@1986Apache That is correct these rifles are designed for Light Ball only (155gr and under). I do not know of any places to purchase soft point or hollow point ammo for this rifle. The best thing to do is just reload your own to be safe, and it would be cheaper than store bought anyway. Remember these rifles were not designed to hunt animals with.
sgtking11b 1 year ago
@1986Apache get a file and file the tip down or cut it off and its hunting legal in the US. Sand Paper also works. No risk on hurting your self just takes a little bit of time.
ECTBWHO 1 year ago
@ECTBWHO That is a good idea. Question is by altering the tip of the round that way you do create imperfections in the round so it will affect accuracy, maybe slap the round on a lath to sand off the tip evenly. Just be sure to do it a little at a time. Perhaps more work that its worth? In which case reload your own to insure its LB hehe.
sgtking11b 1 year ago
@sgtking11b If you only file the tip down it shouldn't affect accuracy most small munitions makers "clip" the tips off to make soft points. And by sanding down not so sure. All the soft points that I have ever seen never look the same at the tip they all look a little bit deformed. That is a good point still wouldn't hurt to field test it . Perhaps more work than its worth? A hunter should only need a small handful of these cartridges. And If at surplus prices you cant really beat a little work.
ECTBWHO 1 year ago
@ECTBWHO Mostly it would depend on the weight of the round as to how much it would affect the bullets flight path. The lighter the round the more noticeable it will be. I have recently found some Prvi Partizan soft point 150gr ammo though for hunting. Being 150gr it is for sure going to be LB.
sgtking11b 1 year ago
@sgtking11b How is the PSL compared to the Mosin 91/30 when it comes to accuracy? I have a 91/30 with a P/U and I was considering getting this rifle.
colorblindvids 1 year ago
@colorblindvids Well the mosin is about a 1-1.5 MOA and with some modifications can be a Sub MOA rifle. The PSL is a 1-1.5 MOA stock as well and with some mods could be a sub MOA as well. So pretty much the same, it all depends on how much money you want to drop into it to bring it down to sub MOA. Honestly 1-1.5 MOA is good enough as that is what the M24 is rated for (even though you can easily get sub MOA with match ammo stock)
sgtking11b 1 year ago
@sgtking11b Oh okay, I also have a Remington 700 300 WSM so I was just checking around and looking at some semi-auto marksman rifles and how they perform, thanks for the info!

PSL's are great weapons. I think ill stick with my M14 though.
Ranger4321 1 year ago
@Ranger4321 M14s are nice weapons, if they were not so costly and the price of ammo so high i would pick one up myself. I like the PSL because the rifle is cheap, reliable, durable and the ammo is very cost effective (0.19 around) plus accurate to boot which is a major plus. With a little one and a wife that demands everything, cost effective is a must for me.
sgtking11b 1 year ago
@sgtking11b yeah thats their downside. Even surplus ammo is pretty expensive. I love it though. I do like the cheap factor that Russian weapons and variants have with both the weapon itself and ammo. $500 for a nice DMR and even less for ammo, sure il take it. The only way i was able to buy my M14 was because im single and no dependants. Btw, thanks for your service to our country.
Ranger4321 1 year ago
@Ranger4321 Well there is a cheaper way to procure 7.62x51. You could always reload it, although still the projectiles still cost more than 7.62x54r surplus, it still beats the hell out of paying $1.50+ a round.
sgtking11b 1 year ago
@sgtking11b true, that is slightly cheaper. Il have to wait on doin that tho until i finish school and get a job to where i can buy the supplies.
Ranger4321 1 year ago
@Ranger4321 I understand that. I started reloading for my .45acp weapons.I was tired of paying 0.39 a round or the cheap ass winchester plinker ammo. I am now paying 0.18 in materials to reload my own .45ACPs. That includes, lead, powder, primers and shells. I spent about 200.00 in equipment including the dye set total. Now i can reload all day long for 0.18. I looked at hand loading 7.62x54r but surplus is still much cheaper.
sgtking11b 1 year ago
@sgtking11b yeah 45ACP range ammo has just gotten rediculously expensive for such crappy loads. Thats a heck of a lot less to pay for supplies to reload your own shells than for the factory loads. I have lucked out a few times in finding surplus 7.62x51 for a relativley cheap price, but those deals are few and far between. At the moment im lookn at gettn an AR system because 5.56 is so darn cheap its not even funny. Even tracer rounds are cheap.
Ranger4321 1 year ago
@Ranger4321 yeah but the 5.56 just doesnt have a good wound cavity. x54r and x39 are still cheaper as well. Besides bigger bullet = better knock down power. x54r surplus is running .19 still and the x39 are down to .22 a round i believe now.

doesnt it hurt having the scope that close? lol
SuperDwang 1 year ago
@SuperDwang The scope is 3" from my eye, what you see there is a rubber gaurd to keep your eye at the correct eye relief for the scope and prevents you from scoping your eye. The russians thought of it all.

SuperDwang 1 year ago
@SuperDwang Yeah i had the same issue as i do wear glasses. Contacts are a god send or lasik is the next goal haha. I found the best way with eye glasses, just move the rubber forward more to comp for your glasses or just take the rubber off. Otherwise the rubber will smear your glasses.
sgtking11b 1 year ago
@sgtking11b haha thanks, I will prolly just wear arena flack jack goggles and press up the rubber piece x] the round this uses is bigger than a AK or the same-ish?
SuperDwang 1 year ago
@SuperDwang Completely different round. AKs use a 7.62x39mm round while the PSL, Mosin and SVD all use the 7.62x54r round. Most think the R stands for Russian, Wrong. the R stands for Rimmed. Which means unlike normal shells the very end of the shells of this round has a Rim around it. Thus allowing for loading/extracting. Keep in mind that if you do not load each round on top of one another so that the rim sits in front of the rim of the round under it you WILL get a failure to feed.
sgtking11b 1 year ago
The good news though about the PSL, the magazines are designed to prevent you from stacking the rounds incorrectly. Same goes for the SVD. Although the Mosin Nagant if your stupid enough you can load them incorrectly and cause jams.

If its anything faster than a bolt action they freak out and think its full auto. Typical zombie, i mean democrat.

SuperDwang 1 year ago
@SuperDwang I would love to have a FA myself but i can tell you this. Its not very practical unless you have a large stock of ammo to back it up. Autos are more for suppressive fire and to decrease the moral of the enemy. What screws with moral more would be DMs/snipers. Think about it. Are you going to be scared of a full auto that can hardly hit its target or someone who can nail you if you even try to peak up to take a shot. A C&R is curios and relics FFL. Great for collectors of WW2 rifles.

sgtking11b 1 year ago
@lorddinaire It is nothing but an AK system. In oder to inspect the chamber you have to place it on fire then you can rack the bolt to check the chamber and flip the saftey back up to on pos. There is no way around this and just the design of the system. If you saftey locks up just push it all the way up and back down to release the trigger system or rock the trigger forward and back like your about to fire the weapon so the rear of the trigger releases the saftey bar when locked up.
sgtking11b 1 year ago
You cleared that stovepipe wrong. working the action with a stovepipe will just cause a double feed. All you have to do to clear a stovepipe is flick the casing out.
Master7770 1 year ago
@Master7770 I know how to clear a normal stove pipe. The problem with these stove pipes the bolt carrier is exactly like an AK, when this thing stove pipes the rim of the x54r casing flips over the top of the bolt carrier and is pinned between the dust cover and top of the carrier. It requires you taking out the mag, and racking the bolt as hard as you can a few times to finally get it out, sometimes even a multitool is needed. Otherwise you have to remove the dust cover and scope to clear it.
sgtking11b 1 year ago
@Master7770 the reason for the stove pipes have found to be linked to the extractor rail. It was off round just a hair making contact with the rim of the casing to soon and causing a premature ejection thus causing the casing to bounce up over the bolt carrier and lock up. Its a stove pipe from hell. Taking a file to thee extraction rail and pulling back the round angle a bit more has fixed all stove pipe issues. TN builds already do this for you, cugirs do not as this is a cugir i had to fix it
sgtking11b 1 year ago
I recently bought ammo for my PSL but is 150 gr instead of 148gr..Do you think that makes a difference?
lorddinaire 1 year ago
@lorddinaire Rule of thumb anything over 155gr is normally heavy ball. Double check to make sure just in case that ammo is light ball. If so then your green and fire away.
sgtking11b 1 year ago
@sgtking11b I'm confused. It is possible that exist 7,62x54R below 155gr that it's not "light ball"? Thanks..
lorddinaire 1 year ago
@lorddinaire Highly unlikely. Heavy ball is only used in heavier grain rounds because if you use light ball powder in a heavy grain round your FPS will be in the high 1000 or low 2000 range rather than the high 2000 or low 3000 range. If heavy ball is used in a light grain round they would simply use less powder thus keeping the chamber pressure at light ball chamber pressure and is safe to fire in the PSL. Basicly heavy ball on heavy round = more chamber pressure which is dangerous.
sgtking11b 1 year ago
was wondering, i noticed the little rubber squishy piece put behind the scope on russian rifle scopes, but dont you still get your eye smashed having it so close to the scope like that?
scktz 1 year ago
@scktz No you dont unless your not shouldering the rifle correctly. The rubber eye piece keeps your eye at the correct eye relief to prevent crowning your eye. Although if you dont shoulder it correctly you will crown your eye but this goes for most any rifle.

yeah it usually is the ammo with a rifle like that and an M1A. Cheap russian ammo is not the best to use, but you use what ya got.

decebal101bc 1 year ago
@envisionstar Nope, the PSL is based on the AK action. It was meant to be a low cost supplement to the Draganov and isn't to the same standard. The quickest way to tell is look at the mag well. On a Draganov there is a fairly sizable gap that is absent in the PSL.

@n1b3luNg Both the M76 and the PSL rifle are rated on paper to be a 1.5-2 MOA rifle. There are so many factors that play into accuracy such as ammo, condition of the exact rifle, optics, weather conditions and most of all human factor of the shooters skill and capability. I cannot say off hand what kind of accuracy the M76 is getting as i do not own one. On paper they are equal.

Scope to the eye, is that what that accordion looking piece is for?
higgininja 2 years ago
Yes the rubber eye guard is there to help block out back light from reflecting on the rear optic lens allowing for much more clear image down range, also forces you to keep a good eye relief to the scope to aid you in reducing parallax from improper eye relief, lastly it will prevent you from crowning your eye from getting to close to the scope.
sgtking11b 2 years ago
Ok, Mr Sgtking11b, i sighted mine at 100 meter and it was dead on? It was however with a 180gr FMJ. Then the only hunting round i was able to get was a 203gr SP. Shot at a deer at about 200yrs and missed it. the temperature was about 20F and humid. I adjusted the scope to 1(200meters). What did i do wrong? What grainage is the PSL scope calibrated for? Any advise??
morningstar4000740 2 years ago
First of all you need to stop shooting anything over 150gr. You are pushing heavy ball through that rifle and you are going to destory the rifle or even injur if not kill yourself. Shooting heavy ball through this rifle will bend and damage the rivets which screws with your head spacing and that is a very dangerous thing. Use Light ball and make sure it says Light ball for the ammo. If your not sure anything over 150gr is heavy ball no acceptions.
sgtking11b 2 years ago
Secondly the scope is offset about 2 inches to the left of the bore this causes you to adjust for windage at longer ranges. You zero at 100 meters but you can not just adjust your elevation you must also adjust your windage. Each click = 1.8 inches. Adjust accordingly. IE: zeroed to 100 you should adjust 1 click impact left and your impact will be slight left of the chevron so compensate for the 0.2 difference.

Popsicle22754 2 years ago
First of all the reticule is a 2 MOA chevron so if you are within 2 MOA your good. Secondly very hair find tuning can prove to be a little difficult the first try or two but it is not as hard a people claim. Compared to a tactical western mildot scope however the scope is designed for zero and set. The turrets are designed for bullet drop compensation unlike mildots you have to know the mathematics behind it to get on target down range. This scope, range, aim, set fire.
sgtking11b 2 years ago
Easy if you know how to do it. The scope is not like normal western style scopes and requires reading the manual before zeroing. Which thats the purpose of a manual to begin with. I have no issues with zeroing these scopes the first time i picked them up even without a manual but the manual did help me to understand the scope much more in depth.

If those jams are frequent, try oiling up those mags. I believe those mags date back to the 70s, and they probably havent been oiled since then.

Mags were oiled after i cleaned them from cosmo. The rifle just needed a break in. After 200 rounds the jammings stopped to maybe 1 in 100. Now 400 rounds later i havent had a jam yet. Seems to be common with new from factory cugir PSLs.
sgtking11b 2 years ago
I noticed that as well. My first time shooting my PSL i got a jam bout 4 out of ten times with my mags. After further use and oiling, my jams have ceased to exist.

Mine had a similar problem. It was on its first time out after the first cleaning I gave it. That thing was loaded with some kind of preservative (probably cosmoline?).
I believe though that there may be traces of cosmoline still gummed up in parts of the reciever that stick up the action a little because after a second cleaning it started behaving again. I'm trying to break it in really gently in any event. Mine was south of a grand but only just barely...
craigdge 2 years ago
Yes that was cosmoline. Brown/amber color and waxy like substance. Some nasty stuff but great for preservation. Cosmoline is the skim off of the top when they make KY jelly.
Breaking in, well people have different opinions. You could shoot 10 rounds clean and repeat till you hit 400 rounds. This is good if your shooting lead rounds. Otherwise just sight in your scope and wrip through some rounds.

what kind of shooting position is that?.
billcavazos 2 years ago
This position is called the assisted sitting position. Using the leg as a rest to help stabilize the reticule of the rifle. With a large heavy rifle like the PSL (14.5lbs empty) it helps reduce the wobble you would experience holding this up int he standard sitting position. As you can see i use the rear part of the pack to seat into the meat/ tendent area just behind my kneecap so that its not bone to metal contact for better stability and comfort. Im able to keep 1.2MOA with this position easy

If you want to destroy your rifle you can. Even with gas mods i personally wouldnt shoot HB through it unless i had no other ammo and my Mosins were non functional.

I bought a PSL a couple months ago, have not fired it, and now want to sell it. Could anybody help me as to where I could go to sell it, or how much I possibly could get for it. Thank you.

PSLs have really been coming down a lot lately. They started to hit high in the 1000.00 - 1500.00. You could find some around 800.00-900.00 but now they are going for around 700.00-800.00. It also depends on the model you have and what all it comes with. If you have a Cugir build (marked on the right side of the receiver) and it comes with the scope, plus 2+ mags you could get about 1000.00 still Otherwise your only looking at the lower ranges.

will a recoil buffer allow you to shoot heavy ball
colonelsanders286 2 years ago
No. The receiver is NOT designed for heavy ball no matter what kind of buffer you use. It still slams back just as hard. The only thing relatively useful to reduce the bolt travel speed from gas pressure due to heavy ball is an adjustable gas block. They do make them for the PSL, its ugly as sin and costly but it will allow you to shoot heavy ball as it reduces the amount of return gas is sent to the bolt for chambering a new round., I would also install the buffer for added padding just incase.

NEVER EVER shoot a heavy ball in a romanian psl rifle it kills the gas tube on the first shot. i had that terrible problem happen once will never do it again

Dragunov is my dream rifle, good ballistics, powerful, and relatively cheap to shoot! romak3 is getting very hard to find right now and still expensive too.

my local gun shop has one of those for sell (1400) comes with a scope that can spot nightvison, its not a nightvision scope, but if someone is using night vision you can see them through the scope, wonder what that kind of scope is called?

That is the Russian version of the PSO scope. Make sure it is the correct one, it should have a battery compartment. If it doesnt take a battery then they are blowing smoke up your ass.
sgtking11b 2 years ago
it does have the battery compartment if i remember it was on the left side, he just keeps lowering the price cause no one would buy it, so he finally said he decided to keep it for himself.....can you explain exactly how it would work effectivley though, i mean the only way I could see it being worth anything is if you were say looking over huge open areas, seeing as how it itself isnt nightvision, or if you knew where they were coming from, and at what time?

It is known as an IR detection device. Its nothing but a very low end night vision intensifier tube that detects IR light. As all modern night vision goggles use IR LED lights built into them to help see better in no moon nights. The newer Gen 3-6 Goggles do not need to use the IR LED lights but they still have them built in. Only the Gen 1-2s need them on no moon nights. So if the IR light isnt turned on
