  • It's a PSL-54C (The general name is PSL; they're sold under many different names) and I payed $850 for it back in early March of 2012. Now they cost between $1,000 to $1,500 some times you can get lucky and get it for less than $1,000.

  • How's the scope on that? I looks like a side-mount from that angle and my experience with them has not been great.

  • Yes it a side mount in the photo, now the photo is an old shot of my collection and I've replaced the original LPS 4X24 with PO 3-9x24 which is also a side-mount which is shown above. I've had good experience with the Russian PO 3-9x24. It sit nice and tight on the rail and has a repeatable zero after being removed and place one the rail. It also helps that the rail is welded and riveted to the receiver verse typical AK rail that's only riveted to the receiver it, also the PSLs have 1.5 mm thick and reinforced receiver verse 1 mm of AK.

  • Its chambered for 7.62x54R but can only shoot 150 GR. loads (that the bullet weight in grains) or less with hard military primers.

  • i know it's a romak gun, but wasn't the purple tip russian sniper stuff 170-something grain? unless you use light ball only, most good stuff is going to be higher grain.

  • Russian 7n1 sniper ammo is around 150 GR. both the SVD and PSL came in to services as heavy ball ammo was phased out of service. SVD can fire heavy ball due to its adjustable gas system verse the over gas Kalashnikov action of the PSL.

  • -54=7.62x54r the russian rimmed 7.62 round has been around since the Tsarist Russian Times and is still used in the PK series of Machineguns to this day. it's far more common in the US to see the cartridge used in the Mosin rifle family.
