I am getting all the parts together for an RPD build or two. The only two builders I am seeing is Two Rivers Arms and FMJ Armory. I am also only seeing the semi FCG at FMJ.
Has anyone used either of these two companies, pros or cons? Are there any other builders out there besides these two? Are there any other places that have the semi FCG parts? |

If either of them happen to still be building RPDs, we will both be lucky.

Well neither company responded to emails. Going to call Two River Arms as they seem to have the most presence on other AK forums. I now have two complete kits and one receiver so would like to get one started while I hunt down another receiver.

I just heard back from FMJ that they have decided not to continue RPD builds and will be returning everyones kits.
They've had mine for a little over 2 years now, would have been nice to hear that before. It will also be interesting to see how long this "we'll be returning them in the next 5-7 days" takes considering mine was "on the bench and is the next one to be finished up, expect a call back in 2 weeks" for about 9 months or so. I was already told they'd sent out a few of them, I would like to hear from those others that supposedly had theirs finished and mailed out how their builds actually went. They said lewman and two rivers are also not accepting builds on RPD's any longer. If someone hears otherwise from one of them please say so. |

When the build is done and if he is ok with posting his info I will post it in here. I bought the semi auto trigger kit through fmj armory. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By bradpierson26: Contact DWilson in Colorado and offer him $1250+ Does he have any Semi FCG to go with the build as those appear to have dried up when the receivers did? On a side note, I have seen more parts kits popping up on the market and some being imported so hopefully more receivers will be made. |

I looked on their website but didn't see anything about them building RPD's, only HK's and M-60.

I bought one from Stan at Project Guns, it's a nice build with 16" barrel. He has retired since then.
