RPD Update.

^^^^^^^^That is not what the first post says. I will contact Arms East directly. Try to minimize Walter getting bombarded on CGN

Unless we have cancellations we don't have enough RPDs to cover the entire first DSA offer (meaning the ones that had a price tag that wasn't $0.)

Anything else, let me know please.

I appreciate your intentions though!

Wow. This is a let down entirely. Doubtful that the list will get to me.

ok so this means no dsa MADE rpd's.. specifically their receivers...

Now arms east, what is the parts situation like? could we import parts guns? minus the receiver, manufacture our own rpd semi receiver and continue to glorious belt fed goodness?

Parts kits for them are getting scarce aswell. So this might not even be doable.

Haha ok CGN it is then.

We are on the same page I was in quite early on the first offer (with a value on my invoice) and passed on the Chrome Polish RPD VERY reluctantly. I was trying to figure out if that is all there is for your RPDs, chrome barrelled. So if my pass turned into a complete pass on an RPD instead of just on a chrome polish RPD. That is my deduction. Just hoping I am possibly wrong.

That's all.

Either way thank you for all the time and headache I can imagine this has been for you ! Even if its not in my hands I consider it a huge win for Canadian Firearms owners that they will be here at all one day!

Im pretty sure that the parts situation in north america is critical as in less than 24hours to live.

Parts kits are becoming scarcer than unicorns. Any kiys available will likey go to building whatever guns are left to be built.

so a brand new rpd would probably range in the 5k mark with low demand at that price... :/ hmm how much could it really cost to make one?

Im pretty sure that north korea is still producing them, they love building vintage military hardware because well... thats mostly what they have access to tooling and blueprint wise.

So that brings it to (tooling).... thats where the problems arise cost wise in new production.

hat tip to arms east for being troopers in this matter. I'm cheering you on all the way. (and I put my money where my mouth is )
