RPD Machine Gun...Snipery enuf for ya

[buffalowinter]

My RPD converted to semi-auto only. 100 yds on a 10" plate. ELCAN sight with m249 reticle shooting wolf steel case 7.62x39. 16" bbl. Cold bore. Easily shooting minute-of-man. The Polish scope mount is like a door hinge...flips to the side to allow the feed tray to open. Amazing accuracy considering the scope mount is a door hinge and shooting the cheapest ammo available.

Very nice BW, how do you like the Elcan? And how would you say it stacks up vs a ACOG - which would you choose if you could only have one for a general purpose optic?

 

[buffalowinter]

ACOG hands down. ELCAN is ok, but way too big and heavy, and for all that the FOV is less than that of the ACOG. It is a good MG sight as it has rapid gross elevation adjustments.

Hey, Coyote, you need that RPD!

I bet Buffalo will take Payments...

Cheers,

RPD not for sale. I sold my RPD parts kit to a section 7.1 manufacturer who wanted to build a full auto.

Hah if he'll take payments in liked comments I'll take it! I'd spring for a PKM first though. Speaking of which, have either of yall ever got your mitts on a PKM? They sure do get some praise from everyone I've seen who had them... many even going so far as to say its the best GPMG in the world overall, to this day.

Any major issues running the gun. I know the semi auto rpd's can have issues feeding.

Absolutely no problems, runs like a dream with both type of belts shooting the cheapest 7.62x 39 I could find. The video shows me shooting Wolf steel cased ammo I found for about .20 a round. I believe this is an early gun from a company called "Project Guns". These were made one at a time and test fired for 100 rds without malfunction before being sold.
