Romanian RPK

About a week ago, I received one of the Romanian RPKs that Atlantic Firearms has for sale and I am really pleased with the rifle so far. Mine was built from a non matching parts kit. With the exception of the new muzzle brake, and the bipod collar, the rifle pretty much looks like a legitimate surplus rifle. Atlantic also added a side scope mount which will come in handy (some people may not like this if they want as close to original as possible). I took the rifle to the range, and it was already sighted in. I added a Primary Arms 3x ACSS prism scope just to sight it in, and it was a joy to shoot. I was going to sell the scope and the mount, but my only two offers were low balls, so I kept both (glad I did). We dumped a 75 round drum after I had it sighted in, and the ammo disappeared so fast. I had no malfunctions or problems from the first trip. I don't work for Atlantic Firearms, and I hope this doesn't sound like an advertisement--just letting people know who may be interested that I'm happy so far with the one I got. YMMV though. I only have a few pics of the rifle that I took when I first got it. If I remember, I may add some photos of a range trip. I added a spare leather sling I had in my parts box (not shown)--it looks pretty good on the rifle as well.
