What a steal - congratulations! The PSL is one of the most enjoyable firearms I’ve owned.
Quick tip: Don’t despair if it seems inaccurate the first time you take it out. Many PSL’s are ammo sensitive - and it’s all about finding one round that yours really likes. Mine is a tack driver with Wolf 148’s, but it has trouble hitting the broad side of a barn with many other rounds.
@@Triangle26 thanks! I was super stoked to score it at that price. Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely keep that in mind, I still need to put in my KNS piston. BTW, have you had any experience with the 20rd mags Atlantic sells for them?
If you have a pinned muzzle device look down the barrel with a light at the crown. When they changed the process from threaded to pinned for production cost savings they made a mistake. That will drastically affect accuracy.
@@creighobbs2716so your saying threaded is more accurate ?
@@colbyrichardson1816 not due to threads but because of the machining process at the end of the barrel to thread it. When they stopped threading the barrels to save cost and started pressing and pinning the muzzle device the end of the barrels are left rough cut only. This is a process error. The barrel is not finished on the end often referred to as a crown. When a projectile leaves a rough cut barrel the last contact is irregular and jagged greatly affecting accuracy. A crowned barrel has a finished concentric surface that increases consistent repeatability and accuracy.
Outstanding deal! Welcome to the club.
Do yourself two huge favors, sounds like you know about the first one.
#1 get a KNS adjustable gas piston kit so the gun doesn't beat itself to death. They are horribly over gassed even with light weight projectiles.
#2 you have a pinned muzzle device. When they changed the process from the threaded muzzle device they screwed up and did not put a crown on them. Look down your barrel with a light and it will look like it got cut off on a chop saw. This drastically affects accuracy.
These two easily fixed things are probably why it was marked so low. Most people don't understand these guns nor are they willing to put extra money into a $2,000.00 + gun to fix them. So good on you man!
Current century arms PSL are new production not kits. Everything should match unless it's been damaged or repaired. That also explains the lack of cosmoline on your gun.
Glad you know about Rob Ski he's a wealth of information.
@creighobbs2716 very cool, thank you for the pointers, I will definitely check the barrel, I wasn't aware of that one.
Mine was a tack driver for the first three shots. Then as the barrel got warm then hot the POI walked all over. The super thin barrel is the reason. BUT as a rifle for a scout, where you carry a lot and shoot seldom, it is perfect. Mine came with w 5 round as well as a ten round mags that were serialed to the gun.
Probably the best deal on an PSL in years
@@TY-pf6vb quite possibly, at least the last 5 for sure.
Congratulations brother, you deserve a deal for all of the awesome content you produce for us! Have an excellent new year!
@@user-iv1in2bd2w thanks, I appreciate that, I hope you have an awesome new year!
The pitting is usually not a huge deal clean it up with a smallwire wheel and hit it with high heat black paint. Then use a heat gun on low setting to get the paint to set.
P.s. if you haven't figured it out yet the steel plate on the butstock is spring loaded two springs one on top 1 on bottom to help with recoil.
@Phenixrising-p1p thanks for the tip! Yep, I did figure that out, at first I thought it was just loose lol.
Nice 👍👍😎FROM ARIZONA
@@shirleymatthews2980 thanks!
I bought mine from marvel armory in Bullhead az good ppl there
Great find, congrats!!
@@chunt4694 thanks!
Wow, great score. Congrats!
@@MidwesternFC thank you sir!
Good call on the adjustable gas system. Even with light ball, it will beat itself up.
@slowhand1198 thanks, my thoughts exactly. I just need to get it installed lol.
Great score! Congratulations
@@johnnail532 thanks!
brass brush, wd-40 and a rag will take that rust right iff and not remove any bluing from around it.
That's such a badasses, wicked, awsome find.....congrats
@garywatkins5533 thanks! I was shocked when I saw the price, I immediately thought what's wrong with this thing lol.
Nice find, especially for the money! Had one a while ago and foolishly traded it away and now can’t justify the prices they typically go for to get another. Ended up getting a Zastava M77 to fill the need for a “big AK” DMR.
@@hobofactory nice, yeah, I couldn't justify the full retail price myself...just way too expensive, I also have an M77 and love it. Thanks for watching!
Sweet deal! Very nice!
Thanks!
Awesome deal!!!
@@Galona223 thanks!
Eternal vigilance, the deals are still out there for sure.
@TomP-nw4wu yes sir, I've said this many times, you never know what deals you can find in gun shops. Now for an FEG HD-18...🤣
I bought mine a couple years ago its fun i run it hard i noticed the overgass was destroying it from the previous owner so 👉👈 i drilled a hole in the gas block at the 12 o'clock and now it runs great don't judge me 😅 i knew of the kns piston and have one in another ak i just figured what i did would be the most simple but efficient way to vent excess gas plus i want to rebuild it because its a 2020 model 😷and damn is the qc mid. Edit: plus kns piston= $100+ hole= 1.5 drill bits
@BackPorchMods lmao, that's one way to fix the issue lol, I'm glad it still worked!
I paid 700.00 for mine. Back in 07. Later on I bought two for 450.00 each and sold them for 750 .00 each. Wish I knew the price was going to go nuts.
@Jason_556 wow...that's a smoking deal compared to today's prices!
Cool rifle I remember early 2000s I picked 1 up for $800 with 4 mags pouch etc. crazy how much they cost now
@willlaroche3170 yeah...and that was a good deal...I was too poor back then to get one.
Hate myself for not buying 4 or 5 back in early 2000s.
@jessealday8225 yeah, like the Mosin Nagants that were $99 each back in 2010😫
@@The_Casual_Collector Yeah I ended up with 2 picked up another for a friend who magically didn’t come up with the money ended up selling both for 1,200 each around 2015 ish. Should have kept 1 but I was in a super accuracy craze instead of accepting them for what they where designed 4 kick myself 4 not keeping 1 but 1 day I’ll pick up another but dang that will hurt great content love your work
@@The_Casual_Collectorthe whole mosin thing is what keeps me up at night can't find one for less than $350 anywhere
Misha is also an FFL, if you didnt know.
@mattmorrison9379 yes sir! Ozark Bear Arms if I'm not mistaken.
Sweet
@@JeffreyWilstone thanks, and thanks for watching!
With small budgets it is hard to get nice items, but at least you know if you need your money back it's as good if not better than being in the bank , nice rifle
@ChrisGosling-cq4qo yes, I agree. I've always said firearms are a great investment, as long as you take care of them, you can always get your money back, if not more than what you originally paid.
@The_Casual_Collector but does the wife believe you😉 the old joke is what worries you a bout dieing ? And the firearms collector replies" the wife selling my collection for what I told her I paid for it !" 😁
@ChrisGosling-cq4qo lol, that's yet to be determined 🤣
.
That's grand larceny!!!
@cbroz7492 lol, yeah it was quite the deal lol
Thats a bucket list gun with the SVT 40 for me
@remiel3315 ahh yes an SVT 40 or FEG HD-18...unicorns for me at the moment.
@@The_Casual_Collector I should have ignored the wife and got the SVT40 when they were still sub 1200
It's a PS, as soon as I saw that magazine I knew it...and I do have aPSL too, mine was only $899.99 for it...
@tommystone4563 that was an awesome deal!
Wow always wanted one of these, but they are always so expensive.
@karlhoffman1985 yep, same here. I wasn't even looking for one when I walked in the store lol, but it caught my eye.
I hear that saw a 350 yugo SKS and handed the owner money on the spot.
@karlhoffman1985 now that's a great deal, as long as the bore is in good shape, it's a shame they didn't chrome line their barrels.
Good deal…just goes to show that to find a good deal one must get out there and look…
@kylelongjohnson3810 yes sir, I've been to that particular gun shop many times throughout the year and one day just happened to notice it...nearly passed by it thinking "they probably want too much for it anyway"
The Romanian PSL is definitely not worth 2400, scoped or not. Maybe you seen that price on GB. I paid 1,500 4 years ago brand new with the original scope. Also got 10 mags as a bundle for 150 4 years ago. They have gone up in value and you still got a good deal.
@dinosworkinonit3563 thanks! Sounds like you got a much better deal lol.
@@The_Casual_Collector
I don’t know if you noticed, but the firearms online community is full of people who seem to always get their rifles for hella cheap.
I did get my psl for like $750 but that was like 2005 or something. It came with the old ps1 silver scope with the trintium wore out. Original sling, one mag. Original canvas scope cover.
I’m looking to get rid of it actually. I want to find someone that will trade a FAL for it, since they are somewhat similar in worth.
Nice find these are cool, but again, I'm not going to spend the bread that they're getting
@simonerubino52 yeah, I get it ai certainly wasn't at $2600, but at nearly half that price, I couldn't resist, plus I could always make my money back if I wanted.
Good thing we're not neighbors lol. I keep bugging the hell outta ya. See if you can source a heavier grain bullet other than 148 grain garbage...
