Was talking with Troy Sellars of In Range the other day and found out he had stashed a few of the Romanian "Dragunovs" in his shop. Told him I just had to have one.....

That looks like a PSO 8x42 scope. It has an illuminated reticle.
Krinkfreak: Give us a range report. Also, you need to put a RSA trigger in there. I thought about getting one of those rifles, since you can buy new 147 grain Wolf 7.62x54R rounds for less than $100 per 500 rounds. It's a great round to hunt with.....I just wish they made 3 or 5 round magazines for the damn gun. themao

My experience with my dads Romak III - Pre- RSA trigger group. 1 1/2 - 1 1/4 inch groups with Yugo surplus.
The rifle abso-Fin-lutly rocks. |

Got the rifle with two mags (a five round and ten round). Has the illuminated "red" reticle and can use a regular AA battery. Looks pretty wicked at dusk or low light.
Troy recommends the East German ammo. I picked up two boxes of "Gewehr Zeil Patronen" ammo. I spoke with him before he shipped the rifle and he had already installed the RSA FCG. Too damn cold to go outside shooting right now and I leave for Qatar in mid February....range report might have to wait until May or June when I get back. Unless we have a break in the weather here in Ohio..... What do you guys think about the buttstock? I would really like to swap it out and go with something like this:  or maybe this:  Gimme your inputs..... KF |

I like the first stock that you pictured if you would like my opinion. |

the yugo or the original buttstock for me. i've shot these things and you really have to get your cheek up in the air when using the scope.

Nice!
My Mosins have been happy with either Hungarian or Czech silvertip (nice price at ammunitionstore.com now if aim is out). The Hungarian goes thru A LOT, ask Campy about over 12" tree trunks at 100 yds in winter. Sanding the pistol zone of the rear stock can get the shape you want for your hand fit, and no extra evil features/parts count issues result from it. |

A great rifle. You are really going to enjoy it. Either of your stock choices would work for me. OR, if you are on a budget, or just like to tinker, you can re-contour the existing grip on the stock to a more pleasing shape.

Is that the same rifle (sure looks like it)? For less than $700 I'm sorely tempted to pick one up. |

Yes, that's the rifle. He has a few of them left. I asked him how come it wasn't listed on his website and he told me he usually sells at least one at every gunshow he attends locally, and didn't feel the need to advertise on the internet....So now I'm asking what else he has stashed in his shop for sale....He tells me a little bit of this, a little bit of that....
I think I still have the hots for one of those Maadi RPMs he's advertising. Gotta figure out which one of my kids I'm going to sell off first..... Remember, you can never have enough AKs.... KF |

$ 700 seems about the going price. I think Centerfire Systems MIGHT have had them a tad bit cheaper in one ad.
I have been lusting after these for a year. I have only found extra mags at Impact and they are expensive. I do want one though |
