thats not soviet..its Czech VZ59
 
I never said it wasn't. Совет as a word need not necessarily imply Russian in any case. Soviet Bloc is an accepted term which would have included Czechoslovakia.

they seem to sell for more money in the US than the 1919. I have seen 1919 as low as 1100 dollars. I have never seen a rpd for much less than 2 grand. If someone who wasn't wanting to get rich, was to bring them in it should still stay around the current cost of those selling the 1919's. You can usually see them for sale on gunbroker.
 
The one Rottenfuhrer has is a beaut! Remember the good ole days when it was socially acceptable to set a bunch of targets up at the local gravel pit and let loose with everything you had? Well the RPD fires from an open bolt like most belt feds, but is surprisingly easy to keep on target when the whole bolt group slams home. Probably due to the weight of the weapon. Without a gas piston it is single shot only and we used a loonie taped over the front of the hand guards to keep them from blowing apart.......after a few rounds the loonie was concave. "We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun"......

These "paper wieghts" have obviously come between two friends. I think, for the sake of your friendship, all firearms you both have should be sent to me ASAP.

Had you read what you quoted, you would find that you are incorrect.....
The RPDs mentioned in your quoted case were prohib due to the fact they were machineguns' and had not been converted to semi auto in a fashion that would be difficult to reverse. In fact, they were shipped with the parts to reinstate them to full auto operation.

The R.P.D. machine gun is a heavy weapon, weighing approximately 12 to 14 pounds, normally fitted with a large-capacity drum magazine. It was manufactured to fire a single shot or in automatic mode. Mr. Soley told the Tribunal that, as imported, the gas piston had been removed from the firearm, and the gas regulator had been welded to the frame. Though the alleged conversions to the machine guns, as illustrated in Exhibit B-2, included welding shut the gas regulator port, this had not been done on the sample inspected by the witness. To reconvert the firearm, it was necessary for Mr. Soley to cut off the weld on the gas regulator and install the piston that was shipped with the firearm. When this was done, the weapon was fully automatic. He told the Tribunal that reconversion took five minutes. Mr. Soley testified that, with the proper tools, a replacement piston could be machined in about one hour.
