[Kos-Mos]

Had one, traded it for a TM AK47...

Stock receiver is so soft it won't even hold the weight if the rifle. You have to swap that to the VERY rare Magnesium cast receiver,

Then replace the chamber block with the aluminum one piece. Then the 3-pieces barrel that is screwed to the handguard was wobbly all around, so one-piece replacement was in order, along with a railed handguard or at the very least a bipod attachment point (because there was no included stock, after all who slings a 7lb weapon??)

Stock "tightbore" is a 6.05... not much tightness in there, though it was better than stock TM barrels at the time (it's V5 mechbox... you get the idea).

Stock FPS was 280 like any TM gun, but it needed a special spring (longer), piston (longer) and then gears (special again) because the stock ones could not hold anything above 300 fps.

Did I mentioned that it takes more time to take apart than a TM M14?

Battery space was non-existent (you barely could fit a 8.4v mini in there), so you have to open the stock and mod it out to accept a large 9.6v or more (mine fitted a 10.8v) to pull anything. Battery needed to be built into the stock, so forget about field change.

That stock, you could adjust it by turning the whole buttplate around, effectively making a big hole for crap to enter your battery space when not fully closed, with no lock and a large plastic screw that was flexing about.
Cheek rest was about as bad, with a allen-style screw that was made of plastic... with a metal allen adjustment tool... Mine was never fielded and it was already stripped.

Oh, that pre-cocking, well it effectively required a Magnum motor (in mid lenght, hard to find) and a large battery to crank the last two teeth from full lock (exactly like a jammed AEG).

The stock reciprocating bolt cover was plastic, not a very nice sound and not very "stealth".

Stock scope is a POS, and you had to modify the receiver or rail mount to install a G3 rail.

So yeah, all in all, a big shiny piece of turd.

The best "PSG-1" I saw was a G3-SG1 converted with longer handguard, barrel and buffer tube, M16 "sniper" grip (looks just like the PSG-1) and PSG-1 stock modified to fit the G3 receiver...

At least it used the G3 magasines.

So yeah, if you wanted a "semi-fieldable-unique" AEG/DMR and had 2000$ to trash, the PSG-1 is a good choice...

Ask Aqua, he had one worthy of calling it a DMR (usually with a dildo-M203 strapped on it).
