So I wanted to put this here, it's like an RPD but in the PKM caliber, so I thought it fit well. The gun is a hoot to shoot, pan magazines are cheap and plentiful, and she's very accurate as well. Enjoy!

I have a vector RPD as well, the things a hoot to shoot as well, and the locking design is exactly the same, the RPD looks just like a scaled down DP-28 when it comes to the action. They even made a belt feed tray for the DP-28, it snaps on where the magazine goes, a simple drop in design, but I've never seen one for sale. :-(
Both the DP-28 and the PPSH are nice to shoot, the DP-28 digest anything I feed it, haven't found a thing it doesn't like, although I stick with light ball for the most part, not sure if it matters at all, but the recoil is less, so I figure the wear might be as well. The DP-28 semi-auto firing mechanism is beautiful, they made everything fit where the old pull down tab used to be, a superb engineering marvel I would say. The PPSH is very much like an SKS trigger mechanism, but the trigger is lighter than any other semi-auto rifle I own, which makes it alot of fun to shoot. The PPSH throws a ton of crap out of the action due to the blow back design, glasses are a must! |
| Oh, and no problems with either at this point from a function standpoint. There was an issue on the hammer pin on the DP-28, it was a rod with two screws on either in. The screws fell out but it kept running as the pin was in place. I ended up replacing the pin with a roll pin of sorts, and it stays put. The PPSH has been completely flawless, I ran over 400 rounds through it of nasty, nasty Bulgarian surplus from the 50s, and it never skipped a beat. |
