LCTRPK (Real Wood - Real Steel )

RPK – light machine gun beyond the Iron Curtain

The RPK light machine gun was designed by Mihail Kalashnikov. It was born as a parallel project at the same time as AKM. The RPK was designed to replace its predecessor, the RPD, that also shoots 7.62×39 mm cartridges. Actually, the RPK is sort of between the belt-fed machine gun PK (and its modernized version PKM) and AK.

Another gun shooting 5.45×39 mm cartridges was also developed from the RPK, the RPK-74. This model was introduced at the same time as the AK-74. A new model with a new cartridge was required so that the rifle company wouldn’t need so many different kinds of cartridges. The development of the RPK has been continued all the way to the 21st century. RPK-74M is equipped with a folding stock, black polymer parts and a side rail for scopes.

Remember to get a suitable battery and charger

Battery and charger are not included with this gun. To make sure the warranty of your gun is valid, you may use 7.4V LiPo/Li-Ion or 8.4V and 9.6V NiCd/NiMH batteries with a maximum capacity of 3100mAh. Using a battery with a higher nominal voltage or capacity voids the warranty.
