RPD Semi Auto 2

[fenceline]

Curious... anyone still have their pre order in on the waiting game for the RPD Semi Auto 2 from Arms East?

 

[bfiles]

Why is there something we should know about??

 

[Rebel Rouser]

They did resubmit a sample. It's waiting FRT approval. I think this is the 3rd receiver design.

No... the question is not any more mystic than it sounds.

Just wondering if anyone is still in.

 

[cdm123]

I am still in.

 

[JasonGTA]

I want in

Can't get in. If approved you can buy one at the new price that will include costs to cover the effort until now for them to be brought it.

5 years of effort.

Second.

 

[Hunter1970]

I'm still in as well

 

[Rebel Rouser]

Second.

Are you sure. I thought they submitted 2 already. I thought that they submitted the US ATF approved one. That got denied. They redesigned it and it got denied. I know the newest version the receiver width is smaller than the original design.

They submitted two identical receivers with two different sets of branding... thus two frt entries. Both were attempt 1. Same receiver... different text.

There has been 1 redesign and we are waiting on that.

Dang, fingers crossed it comes through!

This is what I was told as well.

 

[fenceline]

This is what I was told as well.

The "two" were submitted together and classed together. The receivers are the same design but had different branding... thus two frt entries. Both frt entries were released at the same time.

I'm still in as well and the latest was we were supposed to hear a update last July and nothing for 6 months now.

Was told July would be the due date on word from the lab... then the lab wanted more documents... so another 60 days would be in October.

Zero reply to any RPD question to AE since then... but processed transactions for other gun orders quickly.

I'm assuming it is still in the works based on no updated frt entry for a "semi auto 2" model...

But word on what the lab is being a stickler on would be nice.

at this rate if its ever approved surplus ammo will be gone

are these not limited to 5rnds too I thought RCMP said it was post 45 design...?

The RPD model 1943 is a pre 45 design. They can argue that production didn't start until post 45... but that doesn't change the fact it is a 1943 design.

Design is the word in the section of note.

Regardless... I still want one either way.

And no way in hell I'd shoot surplus through it. Have 4800 rounds of non corrosive Dominion standing by.

 

[toomanymachines]

I am still in.. till the bitter end.

 

[BigMac1]

Still in too, crossing fingers.
