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? |

FMJ won’t respond to my emails either but I just called them The guy who builds them is Cory Ask for him |

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. |

So who did you find? Do you have the semi parts, or is your builder making them? 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. |

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. |

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 provided him 100% of the parts My trigger was from FMJ armory - about 18m ago and $250 |

I found my builder. Belted Precision Quoted 1500, roughly 3 months to complete. He is doing another project form me now, and then the RPD is going in. I'll post pics when I get it back. |
