Howdy all, Just picked up my new gunbroker RPK. It's a beaut!!! Well,untill I clambered a round. I can't work the action to release the bullet without using alot of force (sometimes a rubber malet) The pic shows the furthest piont I can pullback without using this force. Also the round is all nicked up and the primer is dented (mild). The reciever is a Aesenal SLR100. I traded out the Bolt, carrier and spring with my proven SLR101S. Same problems. So where do I begin fixing? Any and all insite welcome. Thanks!

The RPK bolt and carrier are different than the standard AK. They would have to have been modified. I put my RPK bolt into my milled receiver and what you have pictured is a far as I could close it. But your Slr101 bolt did the same. Is the receiver bent? Do you have to use as much force closing the bolt as opening it? |
No whiskey tonight. Yes the bolt and carrier are different. I lubed the hell out of everything. This gun is unfired and DRY, I mean DRY! Forword motion is/was smooth. Now it closes all the way. Cycling easier but still stiff. No mallet, just manchicken. Bullets still marked up. Taking her out in the a.m. for a round or fifty. Sorry, no video. However if I'm maimed, pics will be posted

Cool. Just sounds tight. HOw much did it cost? All matching kit? |

I don't know if the kit is matching. I'm a novice in this field. Questions I should have asked but didn't. I also don't know who built it. I was looking for an Arsenal RPK7. When I saw this, I jumped. Yeah it looks GREAT, the field will determine. My drunken stuper of last night has been replaced with optimism today. I paid 1200.00. A little more than I wanted. But the deals I've gotten resently justify it....If is works! Which I now think it will. I've gotten a few helpful hint from a few of you via IM. We'll see

| Check the bullet guide rivet and see if there is a nick on it, then check the bolt looking at the face and see if there is a nick on the bottom left side of the bolt (the part that strips the round) Let me know. Mario Piece of History Firearms Tucson, Az www.pieceofhistoryfirearms.com |
