New Commie Cannon for the Homestead.......

After firing a friends PSL a few weeks back I had to have one. Picked it up earlier today.

That'll keep the Nazi Hordes away from the Rodina.

I'm gonna have to figure out all the ins & outs of cleaning and assembly over the next few days and then try to make sense of the scope.

It would help if I were able to read the Romanian on the dials. Hey, we'll get there.

I'm pretty excited about getting out to the range and dialing this thing in.
One of the nice things is that it uses the same 7.62x54R cartridge as the old Mosin Nagant rifles I already own.

You can only fire light ball ammo in the PSL and the Mosins' will take light or heavy.
I have a shitload of ammo but I'm gonna have to re-inventory everything to see which is which.
Even though the price of ammo has gone up in the last few years, it's still pretty cheap to shoot these things as long as you don't mind cleaning them religiously and promptly after use.

And the cheap factor could change too If The SOB's in Washington Succeed in Passing the UN Small Arms Treaty

American gun owners might not feel besieged, but they should. This week, the Obama administration announced its support for the United Nations Small Arms Treaty. This international agreement poses real risks for freedom both in the United States and around the world by making it more difficult - if not outright illegal - for law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms. (emphasis mine)

This has been an ongoing thing and say what you want about George Bush, he didn't entertain or approve of UN treaties that infringed on American rights. The US vetoed the treaty throughout his presidency.
Ain't gonna be that way anymore.

Gonna have to go on an accelerated stock up and reload components plan for everything I guess.

But hey, Disarmament is no big deal. Right?

Learn from history folks and never say, "It can't happen here".
