JG sales has those bipods for $5, but no collar, I can't find the collar anywhere either....

that was one option. Removing the FSB without the bi-pod already on there is an easy process that can be done at home with a hammer, punch, and rubber mallet.

Could there be a possibility of incorrectly re-installing the FSB to where it doesn't properly line up with the rear sight? Sorry I don't have much knowledge in the kalashnikov department. |

No, just line up the pin holes on the front sight with the pin grooves in the barrel. It will then be in the factory location. In fact, this may give you an advantage if the sights aren't perfectly aligned from the factory. Shoot the rifle before working on it. If the sights are off, you can correct it when you install the bipod. |

what grasshopper said. Plus, I use a laser bore sight to check the alignment. While it's not 100%, it will be pretty close. Usually only requires minimal adjustments when I zero the rifle.

The bi-pod used on these rifles is not at all complex, a person could make one with relative ease with some simple parts from the hardware store, and you could make the collar set-up a two piece affair that can be attached/removed without having to remove the FSB.

So if you can do it yourself you could have one with a bipod for $600ish.
Sounds like a decent deal. To me an RPk needs a bipod. |
