RPK PREBUY QUESTION

I'm thinking about buying a RPK rifle which appears to be a form of AK. I was just wondering if anyone has an RPK or shot one? They seem pretty neat with the bipod already installed on the gun. I like the way AK's shoot so I immagine this will shoot very similar.

  I have an nhm-91 (chinese rpk) awesome, but not as accurate with bipod installed.
  be aware that the light barrelled yugo ones trade for more like 500 and the heavy 100-200 more

  Cool, thanks for the advice. I don't see the heavy barrel models very often. I always see the $500 RPK's around town. I only shoot a couple times a year so I don't think it would really matter too much either way. I estimate I would put 500-1000 rounds through the rifle a year.

  i like mine a lot, super reliable with GOOD mags, and accurate without the bipod that puts pressure on the bbl. yugo bipod is closer to the reciever, probally not as bad on accuracy

  So you think the bipod throws off bullet trajectory?

  Buy an RPK with a rear mount bipod that folds forward.
  They are a more accurate design.

  Plus there are about three different barrel diameters floating around right now.
  The more expensive heavier barrels are more accurate.

  Nice pics, thanks for the help. Yeah, I like the rear mount bipod design a little better. Does the bipod and long barrel make this gun heavy? Can you still shoot it will standing or is it too long and akward?

  The only heavy barrel RPK's I've seen are the Yugo's cooling fins at the rear so they have to have the bi-pod at the front ... who has the heavy barrels with the rear bipod?
