This is not a project gun for the beginner or even the semi-skilled. This is a project which requires many hand made parts and the ability understand ATF guidelines for constructing a semi-auto rifle. I have seen some semi's built using FAL lower receivers and such. This was originally an open bolt machinegun. The firing pin is a fixed knob on the bolt face. Unless you are confident you can heat treat the bolt so it can be drilled and re-harden it, and are capable of building a firing pin (heat treating that as well) and are prepared to build a receiver from scratch of an acceptable design that you are sure will fly with the ATF, forget this rifle. There are no compliance parts avalble.

I would like to see what OOW guys could do with one.
OOW prices are very high(too high for the AK's they are selling) IMHO, but I would pay a decent price for a working one of these. |

these kits are aimed at c7/sot re-welders. the center receiver section is available to put the receiver back in one piece. a little tig here...a little mig there...voila! instant pmds.
for the semi crowd, it's an uphill struggle all the way. for a grand, a fella can build his very own 1919 and get a tripod. i sure couldn't do a semi-rpd for anywhere near that. |

If I bought a kit to look at it and see what I think, would there be any market for it if I wouldn't want it?

setlab, you make take a $50-100 loss on the exchange...but yes, you could sell it. the rpd is a popular pmds because it is relatively easy to put back in one piece and it's economical to shoot.
i saw some moron at knob creek asking almost $1300 for one of the bulgarian unissued rpd parts sets. it was weird...everyone that passed his table by was snickering! |
