Any RPK parts kit that includes the front trunion and rear block will be for a stamped receiver. The front trunion and rear block are not found in kits from milled receiver rifles.
What type of RPK parts kit are you looking for - RPK47 (7.62x39, usually of Romanian origin), RPK74 (5.45x39, usually of Bulgarian origin), or M72 (7.62x39,Yugo origin)? |

Honestly I am new to building AK's but I would prefer a chrome lined bore. I did find, both Romanian (no barrel) and Yugo (non chrome lined barrel) kits. I think the Nodak receiver looks like my best choice for a receiver since the milled ones from ORF are rumored to have issues. Will the NDS-6 used for Yugo builds also work for a Romanian build? I think I would be best off with a Romanian kit and a new US barrel since I was unable to find any chrome lined barrels. If I could find a NY AWB compliant AES-10B or m72 I would just purchase a complete rifle but it looks like i will have to build one if I want one. None of the dealers I spoke to will ship to NY. Thanks, Ken |

I think you meant the NDS-9 receiver model for the Yugo M72 RPK (stamped). This receiver will not work well with the RPK47 rear block and stock. The back end of the NDS-9 receiver is angled to match the Yugo rear block and stock. This angle will not match the RPK47 parts. The NDS-9 receiver will assemble fine with the RPK47 front end subassembly.
