So I managed to pick up what every AK collector searches for but 99% come up short. I located and am now the proud pappa of a RPK 74 by Vector Arms. Has original plum handguards and stock, KVar grip and the equally hard to find Molot plum 45 round mag.

Feast.

Fixed.

You should've picked them both up. We had a dips&^% on the Files a few years ago who had a 5.56 RPK fall in his lap thinking it was a 5.45. I have heard from a reliable source on the site that after he reneged on his marketplace ad he sold it to another member for over $5k.

Now that is coming to me from a third source but I trust that source too and I don't think he would BS me on it either.

Do you mind me asking if it was more than $2000?

Do you mind me asking if it was more than $2000?

I don't mind at all. The rifle itself without the furniture is $2,500. That price is if I throw on any generic surplus wood RPK furniture. The plum handguards and clubfoot stock will cost you $500 IF you can find them. That's a big IF too, they are as rare as hens teeth. The Molot plum mag is $200-250 (2 on GB atm @ $100 and $379 respectively), the grip is maybe $20 and the Soviet sling is another $25.

Totals up about $3,250 give or take a few bucks and I wouldn't sell it for $4,000 cash. $5,000 might get me to come off it but I would sleep on it.

You supply the 5.45 and you can run it till the barrel burns red for all I care.
