Well, if you're a wanna be Seal/Ranger/Green Beret sniper and you insist on having a 1/4 MOA rifle (that you seldom shoot past 100 yards), then the PSL is certainly not for you. The barrel isn't made from mil spec unobtainium and it is hard to mount your $3000 night vision, BDC scope on one. Certainly it would be hard to brag about your three shots touching group that you shot one time three years ago.

But if you just want a fun rifle that isn't the same as the rifles that every other tier one operator is sporting on the range, then the PSL are just the ticket. I did the gas port mod on mine (1/2 hour and .05 cents in parts) and mine throws brass about four feet to the right and is very soft shooting. I use 174 grain SMK bullets pushed by Varget and I get consistent 1.5 MOA out of my PSL.

I am glad they are bringing them back. I do wish they were a bit less expensive, but on the bright side, mine is just going to be worth more.

<removed> you are the dumb one posting that in a tech forum. Take those comments back to GD. I usually don't give an warning for this, your lucky day. dryflash3

I’m sure they will sell, but there are some seriously awesome guns out there for $2k, and if I had the money to burn, a PSL would be at the very bottom of that list.

Well I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Sorry about that.

<Removed> obviously you don't know what a tech forum is. Here are the rules,

SPECIFIC TO THE TECH FORUMS
The tech forums (Ar15,AK47,Handgun,Armory,Training,Outdoors) are more "formal" and actions permitted in the GD forum aren't permitted there. These forums are there to share information and as a result, trolling, heated arguments,insulting others,etc won't be ignored.

Doesn't matter if you could be right, it's the insulting way you said it.

That doesn't fly in a tech forum period.

I  suggest you stop posting in this thread and brush up on the Conduct Code.

Back on topic...

Hopefully Century bring in container-loads, and vendors can drive a harder bargain.

I agree.  They're interesting, but not a good value.  I wish I had bought one when they were cheap.

When I bought an SAR-1 in 2001 for $390 everybody on here said I got ripped off lol. That same sar-1 will sell much higher now, I also bought a PSL for $799 in 2008

I actually bought my SAR-3 earlier this year for $450. I couldn't pass it up. I got the FSB with threads/bayo lug for it and the proper hammer then got it all converted back. Thankfully the person who had it before looked like they never shot it that much if any, so the bolt isn't mangled from CA throwing the wrong hammer in them.  I cant complain. i also got my PSL a few years ago with 2 scopes (8x and 4x) for $1100. Love both of them.

Delete this whoops.

Supply and Demand...   The ones here already are bringing the 2k because more were not coming.  Now more are coming in so the 2k will not hold.  The same thing with the SAR guns etc.  Hell SKS's wouldn't cost $400-$500 now if the imports of good ones were steady.

I see prices of these dropping off until this batch goes dry then the prices will run back up.  Anyone who follows Colt 1911 38 Supers has seen the model time and time again.  A certain Super stays on shelves and takes forever to sell at which point they are sold a a clearance price.  A few months later the price on those ugly ass nobody wants supers rises to astronomical levels because getting one from first source is no longer an option and all of the samples are in 2nd sourcing hands.

I got mine in 2009 for ~ $650. Still have it and stocked up on a helluva lot of mags when they were no more than $20 - $30.

$2000??!!
A fool and his money are soon departed.

I thought that the Romanians no longer produced the PSL?

Are these being picked from existing stock piles?  
If that is the case the subsequent rifle imports are only going to be even less of a value for the price paid.

Supposedly all the tooling was destroyed . Then I read another company bought the tooling from cugir and is making these for export .

It’ll be interesting to see who’s making these if not Cugir and the new company’s skill set to produce a quality product .  The reciever will tell us soon .
