Full name--Romanian Cugir manufactured model PSL-54C semi-automatic 7.62x54R rifles
Romak 3 or III to its friends.
This rifle is a simplification of the Dragunov. The action is almost identical to
the famous AK-47 , but with the addition of a lug- locked action to handle
the wollop of the 7.62x54r round.
The purpose of this rifle is to allow a greater reach out in range for a small
unit due to its caliber and the fact it is equiped with a 'scope. (One may
look at the meaning of "psl" in its name. From Wikipedia--"The PSL (Romanian: Puşcă Semiautomată cu Lunetă, "semi-automatic rifle with scope") is a Romanian military designated marksman rifle. It is also called PSL-54C, Romak III, FPK, FPK Dragunov and SSG-97 (scharfschutzengewehr - 1997)."
Welp, introductions done lets get past the handshakes and niceties
and do something.
The 'scope mount is simple to use and it would take seconds to take the
'scope from its provided protective cover, slide it on the rails and flip the
lever to lock it in in place.
May even be accurate out of the box, but I would not know. I do not use
'scopes. They do not travel well and I am an impatient man and an excellent shot.
Many decades ago, probabaly due to serious mental issues with my Father,
I decided to shoot my pistols only one-handed and my rifles without rests
of any kind and without 'scopes. Anyhoo, I can and do shoot well just holding the durned thing without pads, gloves, rests, thermometers, slings ,cammo'ed hats, patches on my vest and other stuff. And I could always show up Dad
which is what really matters.
Took it outta the box, set up 8 clays at 200 yards and loaded the clip with
10 rounds of 147gr Romanian surplus blammo I got when it was $40 bucks a
spam can. I was told , but do not know for a fact, that this rifle will be
damaged by heavy ball blammo.
Controls are the same as an AK, finish is the same as the WASR (think thin
paint and scratches easily, with mediocre wood and dipped in varnish and drip- dried with neato runs and such. )
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!
If you have never had the pleasure of shooting '54r, get a Mosin Nagant 91/30 for 70 whole bucks and experience for yourself the joy of full
30-06 or thereabouts blammo.
The 91/30 will bruise ya, Boys. I'm a recoil junkie and the '54r is
one heckuva recoil producer.
Not the Romanian Cugir manufactured model PSL-54C semi-automatic 7.62x54R rifle. Nope. The recoil spring made it as gentle as the spring rains.
OH MY GOSH! The bullet SLAMMMMED into the dry earth a bare 2 inches
below and CENTERED ! Right outtta the box. I pushed the sight up a bit (my eyesight did not allow me to read the markings on the sight-- but from the
full rearward position, I pushed the sight one detent up. )
THE ALMOST ORGASMIC FEEL OF WATCHING a 3 inch clay SHATTER at
200 yards. A quick placement of the sight (remember I just standing holding this thing lightly to shoulder and leaning my cheek enough to see the sight)
and POPPITTY, POP, POP, POP, ZIPPITY, ZIP , ZIP ZAP- the clays are gone
one by one as I reopen me eyes after pullin' the trigger. (I never could get
my eyes to stay open when I pull the trigger of a recoiling rifle) .
Somewhere in the recesses of your greedy gun shooting ego, you have
always wanted a semi-auto with the incredible ballistic performance of the
the '54r way below the multi thousand dollar price tag of the Dragunov.
Think less than $800 bucks shipped- with a 'scope (which I will sight
someday to 800 yards when I get around to it) and DEAD ON centered
and needing only elevation adjustment due to yer need to have an individualized cheek weld and you will have some idea of the UNMITIGATED
JOY of firing this thingie. I take 60 rounds with me each time I go the the range. I simply cannot stop myself from loading and unleashing clip after
clip of blammo every chance I get.
Hope yer rich. You will quickly burn thru every spam can you can lay
your hands on when you own one of these. And worse-- treat as a step- child your excellent MN 38, 44 and 91/30's.
I mean-- WOWSERS!!!!!!!!!
