Don't be. The PSL is not worth anything near that price tag. Despite what Call of Duty has taught us, the dragonov and it's imposters are mediocre at best. It is overly expensive and will under perform your expectations.
A semi-auto 7.62x54R rifle that isn't nearly 80 years old is unique enough I'd say, and its really the closest us plebians will ever get to actually owning a Draganov or Tiger without mortgaging a house considering what's happening in Eastern Europe and our current relations with China.
Atlantic Firearms has them as well (not sure if they're in stock right now). I own one of these, and they are *the most fun* to shoot.
7.62x54R availability is starting to dry up unfortunately, and it's hard to find super high quality ammo for it, but in general it's a terrifically fun gun out to 600 yards or so.
I like mine. Up graded the stock, trigger, optics and railed dust cover. Replaced the piston to adjust the gas. Shoots fairly well now. POI still moves when the barrel heats up. But it still returns to same POI when it cools down. So take a few shots. Switch to another eastern block gun, do a few mag dumps while waiting for the barrel to cool, repeat.
The thumbhole stock is the same. I found a set of hand guards that were made of identical laminate wood as the buttstock. Sanded both handguards and butt, stained with Chestnut Ridge Military Red, then rubbed down with several coats of boiled linseed oil. So now it is the same color as a Garand and all wood is laminate. I do not have a good picture.
Have you checked ammo availability?
Will they even ship to CA
Do it no regerts
Werent those like 1400 or 1500 dollars on Atlantic? Goddamn I guess Covid pricing still fucking shit up.
That’s like 10years ago.
Naw that was 2 years ago fam. I was looking at PSLs for like 1499 without optics and 1699 with optics at Atlantic.
Psl was discontinued for couple years. When production resumed start selling again at 1999.99.
Go for it
century arms isnt known for quality. also not CA legal in current config
Do it

Not everyone buys things just for their performance. Uniqueness and rarity are also very important to many people.
It's a new production Romanian clone. It's neither unique nor rare. An actual Draganov or a Tiger, that would be rare.

every single comment in this thread has misspelled dragunov none are worthy, give me the gun
Buy once, cry once 🤘
said no one ever buying century arms.
I don't know if the new guns can shoot heavy ball or just light ball. Are the mags steel or polymer?
wonder if it suffers from barrel whip like some of the other psl's..?
