Hey guys,
I am not currently in the market for one of these, but I've always been really interested in the Zastava M76 and PSL rifles because they shoot a full-power cartridge from an AK action and have the side-mount scope system similar to other rifles of the Soviet Bloc
I don't suppose I could get both some questions answered, and some testimonials from people who've owned them?
For M76 owners:
1. How good is the ZRAK scope they come with, and what's the sight picture like?
2. Looks like more of a chin weld with the stock it comes with - is that true?
3. How do they shoot? Would you recommend them?
For PSL owners:
1. Are there any modifications or replacement tritium cylinders to be found to fix the scope optics?
2. Again, how's the shooting performance?
3. How good are the magazines? Is it easy to avoid rimlock?
4. Would you recommend them?
For any other derivatives I've missed, it's because I don't know that much about the full-power round AK derivatives. If there's any oddballs or options I haven't asked about or considered, please feel free to chime in.
For those curious why I have an interest, I'll be honest - purely for aesthetic reasons and because I have a decent amount of 8x57 and 54r type ammo (.308 as well, if there's any options there) and I've never been a huge fan of alternative gas-op options out there. If I was going to go non-AK action for that I'd probably just go for the PTR MSG 91 as I already have investment in the roller delayed blowback platform.
