RPK Parks Kit Review

    One of our sponsors, Arms of America recently gave us the opportunity to review some of their parts kits. Here we review two RPK parts kits. One is a Romanian RPK the other is a Yugoslavian RPK. Both started life as military rifles, each were at some point removed from service and eventually chopped into parts, then shipped to the US and now are being sold by the guys at Arms of America for only $499.99 each for either flavor.

     These are cool and big, Heavy duty and strengthened all around. I've shot these before so I can already see how nice these rifles will be to shoot. Enjoy the pictures as we help illustrate these kits and the differences between them.

	Romanian RPK 7.62x39 Parts Kit. In real good condition with wear and minor use marks on the furniture. Barrel is Chrome Lined Yugo RPK 7.62x39 Parts Kit. All matching numbers. This kit was hand picked for the carving / writing on the furniture. Barrel is not Chrome Lined
	In all of our pics the Romanian in on top and the Yugo is below. Aside from the obvious difference in stock they are almost the same. But there are lots of differences once you get into the details.
	Some of the differences include the front sight, the ribs on the Yugo barrel, and the front handguards
	The other side of the RPK barrels
	Another view of the front end assemblies
	Flipped upside down to see the other side, Romanian in on top, Yugo below.
	Another shot like above, showing the other side of the front handguards
	They Yugo handguard is larger, would this mean it can take more heat?
	The front sights on both of these RPKs is basically the same as their AK47 cousins The Yugo has the flip up night sights
	Here the Yugo RPK night sight is flipped up, the big white dot glows in the dark
	Another view of the RPK barrels, the same from 6 feet away, but obviously different close up
	Romanian RPK on the right, the Yugo RPK on the left. Looking down on the barrels and sight systems
	The upper handguards Yugo RPK to the left the Romanian RPK on the right
	The rear sights on the RPKs
	Once you get to 100 yards on the top of the sight you flip it up for the long distances
	RPK desktop wallpaper? This is just a cool pic I think
	The RPK barrels again
	And the RPK barrels back to back to get them a bit closer. As always the Romanian is on top the Yugo below
	Same shot different angle
	The stocks on the two RPKs
	Looking down on the receivers, well where they would be. Notice the different pistol grips and rear trunion rivet patterns. It's also clear in this shot that both RPKs had dimples in their receivers
	Another look of them side by side
	The stock on the Yugo has a cross carved in one side, the Romanian has a nice profile. Both good looking pieces of history.
	Close up of the stocks. The Romanian RPK stock is shorter than the Yugo RPK stock
	Here are a comparison of the two bolt carriers and the Romanian RPK on top the Yugo below, hard to see in this pic but the Yugo is not blued like the Romanian RPK bolt carrier
	Showing another view of the Romanian RPK bolt carrier and Yugo RPK bolt carrier and a US made AK gas piston which will also work with the RPK
	Another shot of the two RPK parts kits side by side
	These will be some nice looking rifles one day
