Build 5 a PSL

[CrufflerSteve]

I tried my new brand PSL at the south sight today. Great fun. This was a kit in almost untouched shape I'd had a while. I used the Romy receiver which gave me lots to do, not having a mill. Since I don't have a mill I got to spend lots of time filing. It is still a bit tight in the magwell but I still have lots of metal work left. I got the Rhineland Arms stock in maple. It gave much more length and an adjustable cheekrest. I have long arms, require tall size shirts, so I have issues with the commie munchkin standard.

The rails required lots of work. They were to tight to do anything. I left them tight since I figured it could help accuracy. I'll loosen up the rear rails since it bound way to often. Just required a tap forward. I really thought I was screwed when I got the PSL FCG installed. It held the hammer so high nothing worked. If I ground the hammer to fit I would have no hammer. I looked at a Tapco G2 set and it held the hammer way lower and the hammer was slightly shorter. It was a lot of work on the trigger and hammer but it worked! I have a 922r compliant PSL!



Lots more work to go but it will be fun since it now works. I tried the Romy sight and it really works well. I'm glad I kept the angles right fitting it. I was using surplus silver tip and here's a target at 75 yards.


The black is a 6 inch circle and I shot 60 rounds for this picture. I did change targets when I got it sighted in. I'm glad I have a bipod because I had one hand on the grip/trigger and one hand tilting my bifocals so I could focus on the sight.. What an old fart picture. It banged the heck out of the shoulders of the brass so I'll never be reloading for this.

That's built on a rommy kit? Damn. I need to build me one or those. Are those shooting 7.62x39?

Nope 7.62x54r. It uses light ball, about 150 grain. There is still a fair amount available.

Is that the fabled czech silver tip? You should get some s&b match 7.62x54r last time I checked I cabelas in sydney carried it, next time I'm there I'll get you a couple boxes to try for fun

Czech silver tip shoots better in mine than 7n1. Mine also has a thing for 63 dated stuff. The 68 and 66 stuff is ok but it really likes the 63. Lucky that after I finish the 68 can I have 3 dated 63. Was also nice that it was $59 per 800 rds.

I remember the good old days, back when a turk mauser and 1400 rounds or something like that was like 99 bucks haha.

So is the czech 54r steel case or brass? I'm not as familiar with 54r as 8mm
