DP28 Semi-Auto 7.62x54

[BigMag]

I saw this on GB and though it was interesting maybe for a new item in the collection. A bit expensive but 7.6254 is cheap enough to get so I would get to shoot it a bit. Anyone tell me about it?

Looks pretty nice. These rifles are supposed to be very reliable and pretty accurate too. No scope mounting options, if that matters. Magazines are available for good prices from Apex Gun Parts, and you can get bigger 65 or so round drums! I'd grab it, thats a fair price.

Yeah i need this. Too bad there is so many reasons i can't have it. No money, and no high caps where i live

I bought a DPM28 from SMG Guns. It has just been nothing but fun to shoot. I have a couple of the 47rd mags that don't function as well as they should until they get down to around 40rounds. The larger cap mags are for the tank model. the rifle sight system needs modified to handle them as they are double stack and block the view. the larger mags are also a bit smaller in diameter and need a small bracket made to get them to lock down properly. The 47 round mags are readily available, can even get them in a three mag carry case.

Ahh, I didn't think of that with the sights! Good info.

Very nice. You need that gun. If you don't, what will you use to stop that army of watermelons ammassing around your backstop?
