RPK Parks Kit vs the Romanian AKM Parts Kit

RPK Parks Kit vs the Romanian AKM Parts Kit

    One of our sponsors, Arms of America recently gave us the opportunity to review some of their parts kits. Here we review the Romanian RPK parts kit with a Romanian AKM (AK47) Parts Kit. . Both started life as military rifles, each were at some point removed from service and eventually chopped into parts, then shipped to the US and now are being sold by the guys at Arms of America for only $499.99 each for the RPK Parts Kit, call for availability on the AKM Parts Kits

     These are two of my personal favorites in the AK47 collectors world. These look cool and are very well made.

	Romanian RPK 7.62x39 Parts Kit. In real good condition with wear and minor use marks on the furniture. Barrel is Chrome Lined Romanian AKM 7.62x39 Parts Kit. All matching numbers. This kit was hand picked to use to compare because it is in what looks like unused condition
	In all of our pics the Romanian RPK is on top and the Romanian AKM is below. Aside from the obvious difference in stock and size they are close to the same. But there are lots of differences once you get into the details.
	The RPK is much larger and more heavy duty than the AKM
	Along with large proportions it also is quite a bit longer
	The stocks are also shaped differently. The club foot of the RPK stock is designed to be held by the non shooting hand when shooting from the bipod
	The larger RPK barrel makes the AKM barrel really look small
	The front sight post is also bigger on the RPK
	The two rear sight bases and sights. The RPK which can reach out a bit further has a more adjustable rear sight than the AKM
	Another view of the rear sights, and look at that bore on the AKM..
	Another shot of the front trunnions and rear sight bases
	The heavy barrel of the RPK on top of the shorter AKM below
	back to back it's obvious the upper handguards are the same on both rifles
	Another shot of them back to back
	The barrels compared
	and the other side
	A close up of the front ends of the AKM and RPK
	A final shot of the RPK and AKM handguards back to back
