Okay, with the Vepr no longer being imported, there are two long-action Kalashnikovs on the market right now. One is the Romanian PSL, marketed in the US as the "FPK" or "Romak-3", and the other is the Saiga .308.
Both can be hand in long barreled and carbine format. The PSL is chambered in the 7.62x54R cartridge, whereas the Saiga is in .308.
Romanian PSL from Tennessee Guns
Saiga .308 from Russian American Armory
The PSL has 10-round magazines, whereas the Saiga comes with 8-round magazines that can be converted to hold 10 rounds.
Both have pretty thin barrels. I'm wondering if there'd be any appreciably accuracy difference between the two? Anybody know? Anybody guess? The Saiga has a much more lefty-friendly stock, which is important to me.
