Anyone have any experience with Dragunovs??

KillermondoDude · 01-27-2009, 12:54 PM

Found me a shop that has the Dragunovs for $800 and i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions in what to look for and more importantly what to look out for?

come to find out the gun is probably a PSL not a true Dragunov

I have shot 2 Dragonovs...pretty sweet rifle...just look out for the normal stuff..rust, cracks, and just overall condition

probably a decent investment with how things are going right now, I sold my .308 AK (mitchell arms M90) the year before last and got a grand for it, now they're going for 2+ g's

Save up & get a FAL is my only suggestion!

I bought a Dragonov in 1991 I think. When Century Arms was importing them. I think I paid about $500 for it then. I had thought of going through it and in the end, I've left it as is. It has a protty much standard two stage military triger....and it's a little crunchy. But it is what it is. I also have an Austrailian varient FAL, with sand grooves on the bolt carrier. Same kind of triger.

Does using one playing Call of Duty count?

there's a ton of info out there, I started here
Romanian Kalashnikov Rifles
AK-47 - AK47.NET
AK-103 - gallery
to start the confusion, now I'm not so sure about the ak usa site as they never answer phone calls or return e-mails but it's nice to look at.

I hope you waited, cause the price has gone down to about $600 now. I'm thnking about getting one myself.

$600 for a new PSL is a good deal. 7.62x54r is cheap as hell too. Don't expect a true sniper rifle though, as that isn't what they were intended for. Where did you find this?

JGsales.com has them pretty cheap but I think I would just pay the $650 from Northwest Pawn (it's just a gun shop). That is where I have seen them recently. I think it was $650 but maybe $700. Buying online in Washington kinda stinks cause you still have to pay sales tax to the shop where you pick up the gun.
