I knew it!
It's that or crouch
Also seen a few guys fire with the bipod resting on a kneeling comrade
the RPK-74 has straighter 45rd mags so they have that problem even more
Yeah, that's the one I was thinking of
You familiar with the PSL, the DMR the Romanians developed from the RPK since they didn't get the Dragunov?
yeah I'm not interested in that thing, not even a little bit, lol
I'm not a Romanian collector, and there is a lot of problems with the PSL system
Ah, it seems intersting to me
I have a long barreled vepr chambered in .308. it is basically a PSL except higher quality and cheaper. the only thing going for the PSL is that it is a military collectible
Oh well
I've heard good things about it, but we're pretty starved of any decent AK derivatives here in the states
so the PSL is just an RPK receiver with AKM parts slapped onto it, chambered in 7.62x54R. it has a longer gas tube too
I dream of someday building the most accurate AK I can
Just because
it has a thin pencil barrel, thinner than an RPK or SVD barrel. So a PSL barrel heats up fast and shifts POI fast whereas my vepr and an SVD will outshoot a PSL every day of the week
So even a few rounds will make it off?
it varies by how hot it gets
metal bends and expands when it gets hot, the hotter it gets, the more inaccurate it will be, the more the POI will have shifted
if you want to build the most accurate AK in the world, Definitive Arms gives you really really tough competition
They modified a .308 Vepr (similar to what I own) and made it more accurate than an SVD
it's completely unreal how much high quality custom work they did to this Vepr
damn
I was thinking along the lines of taking a shitbox AKM and seeing what I could do with it, but that thing is impressive
an AKM is not the most accurate AK in the world, it's not even close. 7.62x39 out of a thin barrel just isnt accurate at all outside of 400 yards
Yeah, that's the idea
Doing as much as possible with the worst starting point possible
the most accurate AKs are long barrel Veprs in .308 or 30-06, IMI Galils in .308, and IWI Aces in .308
very high quality, very expensive non-traditional AKs
For me, the idea of lobbing 7.62x39 at 300ish yards with any accuracy is a decent achievement
I suck at shooting and I can hardly hit a 25 yard target
Gets better with practice
someday I wanna git gud scrub and take my .308 vepr to do long range shooting, but I need to get good first
It sucks I have a couple of nice long range .308s and they've never gone all the way before, not even wet panties
only 25 yard range so far
@Somnio
Stop wasting money on weapons and start wasting money on ammo
that's good advice for a non-collector
Wait for bulk ammo deals
Get a lot
Hey, CQB drills with full length rifles is something I respect
