Anyone get a chance to play with one of these?  Looks like it would be a fun gun (well, they all look like fun!!).

Have seen it on G&A TV or something.  Was wondering how many actually exist in the public sector.

Owned two Vector RPD's.

They were OK. Heavy. Nothing an RPK or even an AK can't do with a 75rd drum.

They do make cool conversation starters though. I view them more as a collectors item. Something to take out every now and again.

I was looking at buying one about six months ago. They look well built and they are cool looking but like the previous post indicated, in semi-auto only they don't do anything a lighter, more compact (and cheaper) semi-auto AK wouldn't do. Still, if you collect Soviet weapons this is probably as close as you are going to get to the real thing.

BTW- My dealer has sold a few of them and received nothing but good reports, so he claimed.

Better off with a 24" VEPR or Saiga with drums

Wife's Grandpa has one. It's kind of a clunky piece of crap

Not near as reliable as one would hope.

I'd rather have an SKS with stripper clips myself.

Do not buy one.  They have some serious QC issues with how they are machined and put together, a lot of hand fitting and they have had issues with their receiver supplier not machining the angles at the locking flap area correctly.

I have a Historic Arms and a DSA RPD.  The Historic Arms build is much sturdier in the feeling.  The DSA seemed a bit lighter weight.

I took the DSA to the range after cleaning a lubing and went through 200 rnds with no stoppages or FTF.  The trigger on the DSA is nicer than on the Historic Arms - shorter rest time and length of pull.
