RPK Importers?

[recon]

I know Navy Arms brought both the 5.56,7.62x39 RPK's in! I'am not sure who the other importer's were? :D

[WildWes]

Which ones do you mean Recon?

I know Interordinance was selling Romanian kits a couple years back as well as a completed version. I don't know whether or not they directly import or buy wholesale from someone else.

[recon]

Oops! I mean pre bans than the post bans. This was before the kits.

[WildWes]

Hmmm, dunno much of anything about 'em. Wish I did as that would probably mean I had one!!:D I did try to check into that one pre-ban Norinco, but never got the pic or import info. It's one of those things that isn't "out of reach" but without a "look-see", just impossible to consider. Wish they had followed through, the 7.62 Norinco pre-bans are interesting enough (what with the odd fsb/bipod/threaded muzzle aspect :cool: ).

You talking about the Norinco 87s that was for sale on this board awhile back?

[WildWes]

Different rifle--but I did get a pic of that one sent, very nice.

I located a 5.56x45 Norinco RPK, price seemed very reasonable compared with other Norinco pre-bans. Folks said they'd send a pic but didn't.

Maybe it sold?:confused:

If you want a couple more pics of that 87s with "Russian" RPK wood and black poly furniture I will send them to you, let me know.

WildWes they sent me info on the Pre Ban RPK-5.56. No picture though. $950!

[WildWes]

Hmmm, they knocked off $100 :cool:

Man, that is very tempting...

[Kalashnikov Krazy]

Id buy it if you tell me who it is. I love mine in 762. Plus you can put a folder on it, only seen folding RPKs in pictures.

[WildWes]

I'll have to scrounge up their name unless Recon beats me to it. The ad says synthetic furniture so I have no idea if it's the standard 84s furniture, RPK style or ??

[WildWes]

CC, check your pm box.:cool:

Keng's imported some here is a pic of a Poly Tech "MOD. AKS-223"

Wildwes don't do it! :eek: Okay CC you can have this one! ;)

[WildWes]

If only they could have sent me a pic...

Easier not to buy when you can't have a look. I'm thinking of doing another NHM when I finish the current one. It's looking good with T-man's stock set. I've tried the '74 style brake and the Chinese RPK brake, but I'm set to try a Krink style since they have a flash hider appearance. I'm thinking the Rom bakelite pg forend that K-var has on sale would match my stock too........... I'll know when I've got it "just right".

Also considered seeing if the guy who does the AK103's could do a mock up on a 20" Saiga---you could even go .223, I think the bipod would prove the most challenging. I'll bet with some ingenuity and an aftermarket 'pod it could be done.

[Kalashnikov Krazy]

Ill pass too, he wouldnt give me the $950 price.:(

[recon]

Hmmmm! I wonder why?

[Kalashnikov Krazy]

Why?!? You friends with him or something?

[recon]

:dunno:

[mark m]

Can anyone tell me the going rate for an rpk in 7.62x39 with two 75 rnd drums ( chinese ) and two 40 rnd mags ???

[Kalashnikov Krazy]

Need more info, is it an NHM or a true preban RPK (87s is one type of preban)? NHM, I wouldnt go more than $450 for the rifle unless its been 922ed, drums are $75-100 and 40rders are $20 max.

[STEEL CORE]

Mines a Chinese NHM with Clubfoot stock with metal butt plate, got it from a dealer in 94, said it came that way and owner didnt want it anymore. Drums and or 40's it looks too cool. I saw another chinese clubfoot at a friends table at the Indy 1500, for $35 freaking should have bought it, where am I gonna get another?

[Kalashnikov Krazy]

Damn, a real Chinese club foot (pork chop) is rare! Wish I had another one to refinish
