    Heavy Bull barrel PSL project

    Up for your viewing pleasure...The heavy barrel PSL build I have been working on for a few months.This was pieced together from parts on hand and a few I had to purchase.Nodak-spud receiver and bolt/carrier/top cover kit from Centerfire,Trunnion from Apex,One of Ronins Izzy Grips and lotza home made stuff.The barrel was a TGI uk59 machine gun barrel that was modified for a mosin that was modified again for the PSL..Has a infinitely adjustable gas block that can go from off to full and works like the air needle screw on a carburetor.Barrel measures 1.15 to about .984 at the muzzle x 24 inches long.Sights are AMD....Enjoy :wink_smal

    Wow wow wee wah!

    That is a good looking rifle. I really like your rigged up retainer pin for the muzzle break.

    I really like what you did there.

    Looks like you added all the right extra details to what was already a decent shooting platform. It's like the luxury class PSL or something.

    Looks good too.

    Thumbs up

    Very nice indeed!

    I'd also like a range report. What twist does that MG barrel have?

    Beautiful work! Range report indeed! I like the way you free-floated the foregrip off the receiver.

    Very nice.
    Where did you get the rear stock from?

    You never cease to amaze me with your ingenious builds.
    I would love to build a 7.62x54 semi. Mosins are fun, but this would be the schitzs.
    A big thumbs up!!

    OK Gent's...Got to the range today to continue the ammo test for this.A friend of mine that collects mosins gave me an assortment of different mil-surp ammo to test and this is brass cased 1954 Bulgarian heavy ball,2 shot groups x two 100 yards to start the session.

    Well about the 6th shot somethings wrong...big pop..top cover off Turns out the brass cases don't like the unsupported part of the chamber where the extractor cut is and peels open like a sardine can.

    The result..


    OK that's ends testing of the brass today.Next up..1956 Polish steel heavy ball.

    This 3 shot x three group was at the end with a super hot barrel after about 70 shots with 1947 Russian copper wash,not sure if light or heavy ball?

    Still have more to test...to be continued....kman

    Very, very nice. Did you mill make the notched adjusting wheels for the cheek pad and buttstock yourself? I really like the way you did it with the supporting rods for stability. I have a couple of PSL's in the queue and was thinking about buttstock design since I have long arms.

    Cool

    Most excellant, very fine looking work on the rifle. The only thing that distresses me is the welded on front sight. That's going to put a lot of stress in the steel and should be very bad for accuracy. I would suggest you send it to 300 Below for a cryo treatment. That should undo the negatives of welding onto the barrel.
