The Century International Arms PLS-54 semi-automatic rifle is an American-assembled version of Romania’s celebrated PLS-54. PSL stands for Pushka Snaiperska cu Lineta, Romanian for Sniper Rifle and the gun is the country’s DMR (designated marksman rifle). In turn, the PLS-54 descends from the famous Soviet AK-47 and its derivative, the Dragunov sniper rifle (SVD). The heritage is so strong, the PLS-54 uses the AK-47’s action, 7.62x54R rimfire ammo and a Russian-made PO all-weather waterproof 4x24 scope.

Century uses Romanian parts made by Cugir and assembles them beautifully into a feature-rich head-turning gun.

The PSL-54 has a 24.5" 4-groove chrome lined barrel that has a 1:10” twist ratio. Weight is 10.25 pounds unloaded and length comes to 46.0”.

A nifty feature is the gun’s side-mounting rail for the 4x24 scope. This permits the nitrogen-filled scope to be used without interfering with the included front post and adjustable rear iron sights.

A durable matte black oxide finish protects PSL’s metal parts. The laminate wood thumbhole stock, handguard and forearm components are attractive, blond and replete with attractive striping lines and contour swirls. For extra strength, the gun has a reinforced front trunnion.

The PSL-54 has a short-stroke gas-piston system and a manual two-position gas regulator. It has a three-lug breach locking system.

Fronting the barrel is a fairly unique four-slotted muzzle brake. The single wooden buttstock/grip is skeletonized. It includes an integrated cheek rest/cheek swell, wide pistol grip, a big thumbhole and a protected strap loop at back.

The trigger guard is the rounded rectangle seen on AK-47s. Just in front of it is the magazine release paddle.

This rugged Romanian origin sniper rifle is designed for repeated usage, simple field stripping and comes standard with a 10-round curved box metal magazine.
