UK AKM

Post by Snayperskaya »

Not semi-auto I know, as we aren't trusted to have a functioning gas system here in the UK, but here is my "Soviet-ised" Romanian AKM.

Would love to have it semi-auto but hey, we make do with what we can ;)

I have also fitted a PBS-1 rear sight as I sometimes shoot it with a Reflex KRS suppressor fitted

Well it looks great! My AK clone is a black rifle, so it is nice to see one with the wood and the bakelite magazine. I am surprised they even let you have something that looks like that in the UK. Guess Brexit won't change any of that for you. Trying to imagine what I would shoot over there if I was a citizen and I believe I could get all my kicks out of a No. 4 Mk 1 or 2 Enfield. Nice rifle you have. Come on over to Mississippi and we'll cook off a couple of semi-auto 30-round magazines in the AK just to see what it's like! Cheers, mate!

Cheers mate :thumbsup:

AK's and AR type rifles are quite popular despite no gas system, though you can get pretty quick with a straight-pull AK ;).Pretty much anything from .17HMR to .50BMG plus goes regarding bolt action rifles so plenty of choice there and semi-auto shotguns are allowed as are semi-auto .22rf rifles.

This is one of my favourite rifles that I own, besides my Mosin PU.......

Na it's definately Russian or Chinese. Romanian looks like a huge AK I should know I own a PSL the Mags also have a X on them not the waffle style like on a true SVD. Though it could possibly be a Yugo M91.

SVD on top PSL on the bottom hand guards give it away. As do Mags and Gas System.

It's a Russian Dragunov, produced at Izhmash.People tend to confuse the Dragunov and the Romanian PSL but the Dragunov has a milled receiver and short stroke gas system whereas the PSL is essentially a big AK.

That is a fine rifle. So could you folks have a pump action AK like we had in the late 90' here is the US?
