In the PA/MD area, an RPK clone goes for $1200-1500. Before the Virus. Not including mags or anything else. If it has the proper RPK bipod(Made in America of course…) its $1750. Period. You’ll never talk the seller down. And again, that was before the Virus.

They run the price of a mid-grade AR for good reason.

Is there a video of you painting that rifle? I’m gonna search right after this comment, but you should consider adding that link to the video.

That’s the best paint job I have ever seen… What pattern is that and/or how did you do that effect.

If your team is running 5.56 or .223, then this concept should be reproduced in 5.56 or .223. If your team is running 7.62×39, the your rifle as presented in the video makes absolute sense. Keep your magazines and calibers uniform across your weapons platforms. This includes side arms. The reasons are obvious.

In agreement with JP, that is an awesome paint job.

  Isn’t it? I have been looking at Ceracote stencils trying to find that one. It looks like the Sika Savannah pattern. But I haven’t found it yet.

  That’s why my first one was 5.56.
