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

Shoot

That's it

Might be worth checking out older manuals of arms that emphasize accuracy, like some WWI stuff

I collect rifles, learning how to be good and tactical has been on the backburner unfortunately

So you just want to collect

Yeah, it makes sense now

I dont want to collect, I am a collector

Still, you should learn how to shoot decently, in case you need it

I'm living the dream of being a disappointment to my family with a constantly empty wallet

collecting guns: drug addictions would be less expensive
