RPK 74 kit from Military Gun Supply...
10/10/2008 1:57:26 PM
Has anyone actually received one of these yet? I ordered over 3 weeks ago and still waiting....I understand they came in bulk and they had to be "sorted so serial numbers matched" but that comment was given to me over a week ago as well. Just wondering.....

Those kits were bought from Vector due to their current issues with the BATFE. MGS purchased all of them as a whole and they probably have to be sorted quite a lot.

That price is good news. I s/b able to sell my Vector RPK-74 pretty quick since it barely cost more than MGS is charging for the kit .......

What do you want for it?
10/13/2008 5:16:32 PM
i just order one ten minutes ago. they said vector forgot to give them either the selector stops or the selectors themselves. either way he said they expect them by friday the latest, and would be sending the kits then. btw, they still have matching numbers kits available.

Anyone actually got their kit yet? I ordered one w/ receiver ~2 weeks ago, and have yet to hear a thing.

Dude, I cancelled my order...got tired of hearing their BS. Still need to check if the credit showed up on m card.....

They should not have charged the credit cards, if they were not ready to ship. I'm thinking about canceling my order.

Most of those kits should have sold from Vector with a sling, mag and mag pouch, not sure if MGS is including that stuff or if they ever received it all from Vector. Another FYI, Vectors bulgarian 45rd mags had several Molot mags mixed in, some used and some brand spanking new.

It looks like they updated the website. Mag pouch, sling, most of the parts look to be there now. I got my rifle yesterday, not numbers matching, no cleaning kit. The rifle came with a sling with a pad on it, the kit appears to not have the sling pad.

thats really discourging, when i ordered mine, they said they had matching kits still available. I spent the extra 20 on handpick, because, well, if im already dropping 800 on a kit, whats an extra 20 to make sure im not disappointed.

I got a rifle, not a kit. Hopefuly, they will get you set up right. He did say in one post that they had some matching kits. I also saw that some of the rifles inspected after I had received mine were matching. I don't really care if my rifle matches, it's a factory gun, it should work fine. If I had gotten the kit I would want them matching for sure.

ups dropped a package off for me today. my kit is here, all matching, 1988. the finish looks rough, but the bore looks to be in great shape, passes the bullet test very well. it doesnt look like it was cleaned after its last use though, lots of rust, but most of it wipes right off. it doesnt look like a molot overstamp, but ive never known the bulgys to number so many parts(gastube, ejector), but then again, my pair of 74's got refinished before i laid eyes on them. went with the plum, handguards look like the plum im used to, buttstock is much darker though. just realized im missing pistol grip, more to come later, phone calls to be made10/27/2008 5:48:17 PM

Did you get any accessories with it? mag, mag pouch etc?
10/27/2008 5:53:31 PM
mag pouch(rpk), leather sling, cosmoline. no mag. btw, they are taking care of my missing parts
10/27/2008 7:56:24 PM
My kit is all matching, minus the magazine.
10/27/2008 8:46:18 PM
Are you guys buying the plum or wood kits?
10/28/2008 8:54:41 PM
I got my kit today. No magazine, but all matching (AFAICT). It's seen lots of use, came slathered in cosmo, and had a plum buttstock and wood handguards. Is that normal?

Not the norm in days gone by, but it does seem they are scraping the bottom of the barrel and trying to cobble together some kits.
Missing the (expensive) 45 rd. magazine certainly sucks ......

To jump in for a few
We are shipping kits do have matching number wood kits left not sure about plum Kiserben that does not sound correct give us a call and we will rectify the wood/syn stocks
I wish these kits had come with mags but they didn't we were lucky to finally get all the parts We did purchase the last of their built rifles and each included a 45rd mag which we are including with the rifles.
Kits do include sling, pad, and pouch we did not receive cleaning kits or tools
11/3/2008 4:54:05 PM
Which accessories are included with the complete rifles?
12/2/2008 3:49:57 PM
That's real clever to not include a mag... bastards.
