What you most likely bought is a Romanian PSL parts kit. These have popped up at a few online retailers and on ebay. Even though they are being advertised as “Dragunov” rifles, they aren’t. These kits are disassembled Romanian PSL rifles, known in the US as ROMAK-3 or SSG-97. The good news is the receivers are easy to come by if you live in the US. The bad news is that the scope rails on these receivers may not be in spec and will have to be modified if you want to use Eastern European optics. See here for more info. For more discussion on building one of these kits, click on any forum from the links page.
