POTD: 14 lbs of RPK goodness
Lindy, who blogs at Vodka and Espresso wrote …
RPK-74m w/ PO4x24P2 optic, conversion build off of a 5.45 VEPR. Comes in at a svelte 14 pounds.
A very nice build indeed. The RPK-74M was basically a AK-74M’ed RPK. Plastic furniture replaced the wood and a folding stock was added. The VEPR rifles are consumer versions of the RPK manufactured by Molot. Molot became a subsidiary of izhmash (now called Kalashnikov) after they were successfully sued by Izhmash for patent infringement.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

What happened to the semi auto rpks, like the aes 10b and the m64. They just dissiapeared.
I imagine these are banned from import. However, does anyone have an idea how much they go for and where you can find one?
