Larry Vickers and the Vickers Tactical team were in South Africa recently where he saw this North Korean manufactured PK-style belt fed machine gun in the inventory of Hire Arms, a Johannesburg company that supplies weapons to South Africa’s film industry. The weapon was found in Zimbabwe without a stock, barrel or bi-pod (those parts were added by Hire Arms when they restored it).

Thanks to Larry for the photos, and to Hire Arms for letting him take them.

    Throws a wrench into the "Apartheid was about racism, not about communism" rhetoric...
