Is the RPM considered a RPK or is it just a 20 inch AK?

had to google it, but from  a number of photos it looks like a 20" akm to me, no bulging front trunion, looks like std akm diameter barrel to me, cool bypods though


i am sure some one that owns one will chime in though to confirm specs

as was said, just  20 inch barrel AKM.

I bought one back in 96, that had the factory installed bipod ( a cut down RPD bipod). I decided to make it RPKish, bought a NIW soviet laminated RPK furniture set and installed it.  I did have to modify the lower handguard so it would fit. but the stock and upper handguard fitting with no problem.

Did yours function fine? This one has canted shights so I will be straightening them and adding a oversized pen. The finish is rough but that's to be expected from a Maadi.
