I was just browsing Apex's website and I saw they got a batch of RPK parts kits in. Even though it doesnt have the barrel its still a pretty nice kit. Just thought I would give you guys a heads up!

Here is a link to a barrel supplier:
RPK Barrels I believe these barrels are for the Romanian style RPK, however I believe a little machining is required before they can be operational. Plus side to these barrels is that they have a chrome chamber/bore which is kinda rare on US made stuff. |

Quoted:
I read somewhere that those rpk barrels were way off in the RPK specs. It was on another forum if I'm not mistaken. Either or I was reading just a little lathe work on a Yugo barrel and it works. Decisions decisions. There was an abundant supply of virgin Yugo barrels but they require the yugo gas block/trunnion in order to work correctly (sure you can run it through a lathe, but it would probably be more trouble than it is worth) and centerfire sells used ones. I know of a couple of people who have used the barrel I listed with no ill fitting. So it may have been the first run of those types of barrels or perhaps even the Virgin Romanian RPK barrels that were Snafu. |
