| I an new to the RPK world and I recently purshased a arsenal RPK in .223, I can't find much info about them. I payed $700 for it and it looks new I was told by arsenal it was made in 2006. I want to find out if they r any good for bench rest shooting and what is the normal sale price for this rifle. Any recomendations for upgrades are welcome. I will upload pictures later. Thanks from PR. |
| I went to the range and took a few shoots with it, it did OK at 100yds but my scope mount was inconsistent. It made 3 or 4 good shoots and then it started deviating 2'' to 3'' off target. Its fun to shoot but a sniper rifle it isn't. Its so pretty i feel guilty shooting it but i don't believe in safe queens. |
| I got it for that price because the guy was moving to the US,he had to sell it. He had it for 1,200 for a month i offered $700 a few days before he had to leave he initialy declined but the day before he left my phone rang and a new rifle came home. If I had more $$$ on hand I probably would had offered more but it actuaky came threw. |

Looks great, but I'm thinking that 74 brake is over kill for a 5.56 RPK.
You should get a Bulby flash hider. It's 5.45mm, so it should be fine for 5.56mm. You could always drill out the hole a hair bigger if you are worried. That's what I did to use it on my 7.62 RPK. I was also thinking that these magazines might interest you. |

Royal Tiger just put those Molot 45 round mags on sale for $30 less than that. |

Quoted: I never could figure out why Arsenal-Bulgaria produced a 5.56 RPK, but never produced a 45-round magazine for it. To me, a 30-round RPK magazine is just plain  Well, since the 5.56 mags don't curve as much as the 7.62 AK mags, maybe they thought it would be too long to use in the prone position? |
