RPD Update.

So which proud new owners are going to post photos and video?

When they get in country, get an frt, ship and arrive at their new homes I'm sure many will post pics.

Haha - I misunderstood Tyrockell's post "I got mine this morning " Ah well, I'm somewhere down on the pre-order list so no rush for me

I believe he was discussing getting an email.

I got all excited too for a moment.

Good to know, more the merrier.

question: Does the RPD come with a sling? Minor detail I know, but I like to have proper slings for all my red rifles.

No sling, no cleaning kit. Start hitting ebay.

Not to beat a dead horse here but..... are any of the $0 pre orders going to be filled?

As said by someone wiser than me already, time will tell.

[dangertree]

Seeing as how there are 70+or- coming in and the non prepaid orders will be at least 3500$ after taxes and shipping quite a few people will back out so its quite possible they will make it that far down the list.

A fair bit of speculation all around in there. But I do think there are people on the contact list who will see RPDs out of it.

Walter, will it be possible to get a copy of the FRT once it is issued? Doesn't appear that a typical owner can get access here - http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/o...t-traf-eng.htm. I'm just looking for some to carry with the RPD should any LEO ever examine it and not see it as a non-restricted. Could we also get something for the belts as well? Not looking for anything on AEI letterhead, but just an official print out or other documentation to show that the belts are Ok at 5+ links.

On the topic of the belts, are they a single 100 round belt, or the 2 x 50 type?

1) Many LEOs don't know what the FRT is, and won't recognize what you are showing them.

2) Someone will publish the FRT here anyways.

3) As for the belts, print off the section of the criminal code that speaks to pre1945 belts. That is as official as you get.

As has been the case previously, you can have all the legal documentation with you and the LEO will still accuse of having something illegal.
