Our Assessment:
The Romanian PSL-54C is often referred to as a “Dragunov” due to its similar profile and caliber, but mechanically it is an upscaled RPK rather than a true SVD. Still, the PSL delivers excellent long-range performance with a proven design, and it uses the powerful 7.62x54R cartridge—one of the longest-serving military rounds in history.
This rifle is a complete package, equipped with scope, bayonet, sling, and three magazines, all stored in a hard case. With a bright bore and solid mechanics, it’s ready for the range or collection. Whether you’re into Cold War-era rifles, DMR platforms, or Eastern Bloc military arms, the PSL-54C remains one of the most iconic and accessible rifles in its class. So bid high and bid firm. I highly encourage you to take a look at the condition of the item in our high-quality photos. Good luck with your bid. -K.F.
