Local pawnshop has a Romo RPK, AES 10 I believe. Rifle has the bipod and carry handle, appears to be new, if used was sold and never shot.....Thinking of working a trade on the gun, they are asking $1050.00 for it.

What do I look for- I'm going to assume since it's a Century gun that the usual canted sights, shitty mag wells and mag catches are potential issues. Anything else specific to these guns?

Also, what are the best currently available - not hunting the EE etc...drum magazines? I want to pick up a couple if I end up with the rifle. What a Country has some "Russian" mags, top loading etc....that seem to be a good choice? I have an old Romo wind up somewhere......

AES 10 OR AES 10B. The aes 10 is a normal ak with a longer barrel. Not what you want and i wouldn't buy it, or keep it if it were given to me. Google the differences for more info. People on gunbroker seem to buy them but i dont know why.

It should have the thicker bulged receiver. Not a "normal ak" receiver.
