The PSL Romak is a Romanian semi-automatic rifle based on the design of the Soviet Dragunov rifle. PSL stands for "Puşcă Semiautomată cu Lunetă" which translates as "semi-automatic rifle with optics". The PSL Romak was developed in the 1970s and manufactured in Romania. This rifle is essentially a civilian version of the Soviet Dragunov, which served as a sniper rifle for military and police units. The PSL Romak is designed for sport shooting, hunting purposes and personal defense.
The rifle is made of steel and has a wooden stock. It is equipped with a long barrel and an optical sight on the top of the stock. The barrel is chambered in 7.62x54R, which is the same cartridge used in the Russian Dragun rifle. The rifle's magazine holds 10 rounds. The PSL Romak is a semi-automatic weapon, which means that after each shot is fired, it automatically ejects the empty cartridge case and reloads the next round into the chamber. The rifle is not fully automatic, so the shooter must pull the trigger for each shot. This ensures greater accuracy and fire control.
The PSL Romak is suitable for medium and long range shooting due to its optical sight and caliber. The rifle provides the accuracy and range needed for hunting and sport shooting.
